Netanyahu Claims 'Successes' in Gaza Amid Israel Ground Offensive

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with soldiers at a military base in central Israel on Thursday amid ground operations by the country's troops in the Gaza Strip. Speaking in a video released by his press office, Netanyahu claimed there have been "very impressive successes" in the besieged territory.

Seventeen Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the start of ground operations during the latest war with Hamas. In his remarks, Netanyahu paid tribute to those troops, saying "every soldier who falls means a lifetime, and our hearts go out to the families."

In total, at least 9,061 people have been killed in Gaza, including 3,760 under the age of 18. More than 1,400 people have been killed on the Israeli side.

Everyone is a terrorist these days. There was a time when soldiers showed their faces. Apparently they are now all ashamed of their actions. Disgusting

[evgenibelchev]

He should explain how he didn't know about the attack that took thousands of people more than an year to organize. On the other hand the army claims that they know which Hamas Commander is hiding under which hospital. Or maybe explain how the concert location was chosen. Some things just don't add up in his story.

He has lost touch with reality… evacuating a whole city is challenging in the best of times. Evacuating a city struggling with day to day survival is a completely different story

In a few days, ” writes Amira Hass, the veteran Israeli correspondent who has reported for decades from the Occupied Territories, “Israelis went through what Palestinians have experienced as a matter of routine for decades, and are still experiencing, ” including “military incursions, death, cruelty, slain children, bodies piled up in the road, siege, fear, anxiety over loved ones, captivity... and searing humiliation."

Walaupun seluruh manusia membenci Israel, tapi fakta israellah yg terbaik. Silahkan anda membencinya, sambil menikmati hasil karyanya.... Tuhan memberkahi umat yg tdk munafik dan yg selalu berkarya untuk umat manusia di dunia.... Amin Yarobbal alamin....
