Israel’s war with the Palestinian organization Hamas continues.
Israel has declared war after the Hamas attack on October 7. During its attack, Hamas killed 1400 people and kidnapped about 200 people.
In retaliation, Israel continued carrying out air strikes in Hamas-occupied Gaza. Israel also sent its forces to Gaza to destroy Hamas positions.
Israel is also suffering huge losses in the ground conflict from both sides. Israeli soldiers are also being killed continuously. Hurt by the death of soldiers, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the war in Gaza is now becoming costly.
Israeli soldiers are being killed continuously
According to Arab News report, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the war in Gaza is paying a very heavy price as the number of soldiers killed in the fighting with Hamas is increasing.
Let us tell you that the Israeli Army has announced the killing of 14 soldiers in the Palestinian area on Friday. “The price of war is very high… but we have no choice but to keep fighting,” Netanyahu said. “We will continue to work with full strength till the end, till victory, until we achieve all our goals,” he said.
War will be long: Netanyahu
Netanyahu further said, “This will be a long war… This war will continue until Hamas is eliminated and we restore security in both the North and the South.”
Israeli forces have lost 153 soldiers in the Palestinian territories since the ground operation began on October 27, including 10 killed on Saturday. This has become one of the deadliest days for the Israeli army.
Let us tell you that apart from the war in Gaza, Israel is also facing Hezbollah terrorists on its northern border with Lebanon.
Hamas is adamant
Hamas has warned that no hostage will leave the area alive unless Israel meets its demands.
“Neither the fascist enemy and its arrogant leadership… nor its supporters… can take their hostages alive without meeting any demands,” Abu Obeidah, a spokesman for Hamas’s armed wing, said in a televised appearance on the release of the Israeli hostages. ”
Let us tell you that under the ceasefire signed recently, 105 hostages including 80 Israeli hostages were released by Hamas, in return Israel had released 240 Palestinian prisoners.
According to Israel, 137 hostages are still in the custody of Hamas. Meanwhile, mediator Qatar has warned that continued bombing by Israel could hinder the release of hostages under the new ceasefire.
Qatar says that due to this bombing the window for dialogue between the two sides is becoming narrower. Whereas Hamas says that it will continue to fight Israeli forces.
