The Dhaka Times Desk Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said that no international pressure can stop Israel from this operation. He has had phone conversations with the leaders of the US and the UK, both of which are also interested in the operation.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said this at a press conference at the Ministry of Defense in the capital Tel Aviv on Friday. "We have so far hit over 1,000 Hamas and Islamic Jihad hideouts in Gaza," he said.
He said, “Hamas is now hiding itself among the common people. As a result these casualties are occurring. Hamas is responsible for all the civilian deaths in this campaign. This operation will continue until terrorism is eradicated, no amount of international pressure will stop Israel from this operation."
So far, at least 100 people have been killed and at least 670 seriously wounded in Gaza, at the end of the fourth day of Israeli attacks in Gaza. Eight more people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Rafah area, Palestinian authorities said, bringing the death toll to over 100.
Meanwhile, there is a shortage of essential medicines and other materials in the affected areas. As a result, medical services are severely disrupted. According to a New York Times report, the World Health Organization has expressed concern that medical services in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem will collapse as fuel and medicine supplies are disrupted.
US President Barack Obama spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the phone to break the deadlock. Although the Prime Minister has been assuring everyone since the beginning - he is determined to solve the problem. On the other hand, yesterday, the Israeli government ordered the army to prepare for an attack with tanks on land with about 40,000 soldiers.
In this campaign called 'Operation Protective', many civilians are dying in the name of killing Hamas militants, most of them children. However, Israel claims that dozens of 'terrorists' have been killed in their operation.
