Israeli Leadership Vows Continued Operations Against Hamas
Following the strike, both Netanyahu and Katz emphasized that the military campaign against Hamas would persist. The leaders stated that their objective remains the total destruction of the group's presence in Gaza, asserting that they will continue to pursue commanders and operatives while systematically targeting the organization's financial networks and infrastructure.
In their joint remarks, the Israeli officials reiterated their commitment to preventing Hamas from rebuilding its operational capabilities. They maintained that military pressure would continue until the organization no longer exists within the territory.
Defence Minister Katz also addressed broader security concerns, issuing a warning regarding the potential abduction of Israeli citizens or military personnel. He stated that any such incident would result in further military action in Gaza City until the individual is returned. Furthermore, Katz clarified the government's position on territorial control, stating that Israel does not intend to withdraw from the area known as the Yellow Line in Gaza. He emphasized that this stance would remain in effect as long as Hamas maintains a presence in the Strip and the region remains militarized.
