'Hamas wants to kill us all, we'll avenge' - Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to wipe out Hamas terrorists in the ongoing war.

Netanyahu said Hamas terrorists want to kill all Israelis but his government would ensure it does not happen again.

In a post on X, Netanyahu said the Israelis' IDF will use all its strength to destroy Hamas's capabilities.

According to the Prime Minister, the Israelis would destroy Hamas and forcefully avenge the dark day.

He wrote:

"On Shabbat and a holiday, Hamas invaded Israeli territory and murdered innocent citizens including children and the elderly. Hamas has started a brutal and evil war.

"We will be victorious in this war despite an unbearable price. This is a very difficult day for all of us.

"Hamas wants to murder us all. This is an enemy that murders children and mothers in their homes, in their beds, an enemy that abducts the elderly, children and young women, that slaughters and massacres our citizens, including children, who simply went out to enjoy the holiday.

"What happened today is unprecedented in Israel - and I will see to it that it does not happen again. The entire government is behind this decision.

"The IDF will immediately use all its strength to destroy Hamas's capabilities. We will destroy them and we will forcefully avenge this dark day that they have forced on the State of Israel and its citizens. As Bialik wrote: 'Revenge for the blood of a little child has yet been devised by Satan'.

"All of the places which Hamas is deployed, hiding and operating in, that wicked city, we will turn them into rubble.

"I say to the residents of Gaza: Leave now because we will operate forcefully everywhere.

"At this hour, the IDF is clearing the terrorists out of the last communities. They are going community by community, house by house, and are restoring our control.

"I embrace and send heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families whose loved ones were murdered today in cold blood and endless brutality."
