As the Israel-Palestine conflict is still continuing, now Israel has given a stern warning to Hamas over its terror attack on the country that erupted on October 07. In a fierce warning to Palestinian militant group, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that ‘through Israel did not start this war’ but ‘will finish it.’ Further, he said that Hamas will ‘pay the price’ for what they have done.

In retaliation to the Hamas terror attack, the Israeli government has mobilised over 3 lakh troops, resulting in the largest mobilisation since the 1973 Yom Kippur War when Israel called up 4 lakh reservists, according to media reports.

PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s stern warning to Hamas

Addressing the nation through a video message, Netanyahu said, “Israel is at war. We didn’t want this war. It was forced upon us most brutally and savagely. But though Israel didn’t start this war, Israel will finish it.”

Since Hamas’ Saturday’s surprise and unprecedented attack, at least 2,300 people have been injured and more than 700 people have died in Israel.

Lashing out at Hamas, the prime minister said that they would pay the price and would remember the same for a long time.

“Hamas will understand that by attacking us, they have made a mistake of historic proportions. We will exact a price that will be remembered by them and Israel’s other enemies for decades to come,” said Netanyahu.

Further, he highlighted the plight of those taken hostage, saying, “The savage attacks that Hamas perpetrated against innocent Israelis are mindboggling: slaughtering families in their homes, massacring hundreds of young people at an outdoor festival, and kidnapping scores of women, children and elderly, even Holocaust survivors. Hamas terrorists bound, burned and executed children. They are savages.”

Hamas is ISIS: Netanyahu

Branding Hamas as ISIS, he called on the “forces of civilisation” to unite against the Hamas and defeat it.

“Hamas is ISIS. And just as the forces of civilization united to defeat ISIS, the forces of civilization must support Israel in defeating Hamas,” Netanyahu said.

Israeli PM thanks Joe Biden, others for their support

He also went on to thank US President Joe Biden and other world leaders for their support.

“I am in continuous contact with President Biden, and I would like to thank him again, on behalf of all the citizens of Israel, for the commitment of the US in words and deeds for the security of Israel,” the Israeli Prime Minister said.

“Also, I want to thank many world leaders for your unprecedented support for Israel,” he added.

Concluding his speech, Netanyahu said, “In fighting Hamas, Israel is not only fighting for its own people. It is fighting for every country that stands against barbarism. Israel will win this war, and when Israel wins, the entire civilized world will win.”

The Israeli military is going on the offence against Hamas with a force “like never before,” the prime minister vowed on Monday.

Meanwhile, Hamas said civilian hostages would be executed without warning and the killings broadcast if Israel targets people in Gaza. The group claims to be holding more than 100 hostages, including Israeli army officers, according to CNN.
