In a recent interview with CBS, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the tragic civilian casualties resulting from Israel’s military operation against Hamas. Netanyahu expressed deep sorrow for each civilian death and emphasized Israel’s utmost efforts to minimize harm to innocent lives.
He highlighted the distribution of leaflets and phone calls urging civilians to evacuate, stressing that while Israel strives to keep civilian casualties to a minimum, the unfortunate reality is that success has been elusive.
Netanyahu firmly blamed Hamas, accusing the group of deliberately endangering civilians. He revealed strong indications that the hostages were being held at Al Shifa Hospital.
IDF soldiers have been conducting extensive searches of the hospital’s underground levels following a raid. Meanwhile, Hamas-led health authorities claim that more than 11,500 people, including a significant number of children, have tragically lost their lives during Israel’s operation. However, Hamas does not differentiate between civilians and militants in these figures.
In an effort to ensure civilian safety, Israel’s air force has dropped leaflets in southern Gaza, urging residents to evacuate.
This tragic conflict continues to unfold, with both sides facing immense challenges and the loss of innocent lives. We’ll keep you updated as more information comes out.
