Tel Aviv [Israel], October 26: Israel is all set for a ground offensive in Gaza as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to kill all Hamas members in what he called, a “fight to save the nation”. “All Hamas members are dead men walking — above and below ground, inside and outside Gaza. Together with Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, Minister Benny Gantz, the security cabinet, the chief of staff and heads of the security organizations, we are working around the clock in order to achieve the war aims until victory, and doing so without political considerations,” the Israeli PM said on state television, The Times Of Israel reported.
“Israel is in a battle for its existence”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. His goal against the Hamas war is “saving the nation” and promises that a ground incursion to destroy Hamas in Gaza will start soon, the Times of Israel reported on Wednesday.

He said Israel was getting ready for a ground operation, but would not share when or how. He said he would not share the range of considerations involved. “We are preparing for a ground incursion. I won’t specify when, how, how many. I also won’t detail the range of considerations, most of which the public is not aware of. And that’s the way it is supposed to be. This is the way so that we protect our soldiers’ lives.”
In an address to the nation, PM Netanyahu said, “Israel is in the midst of a fight for our existence. The war’s two aims are “to eliminate Hamas by destroying its military and governance capabilities, and to do everything possible to get our hostages back.”
The goal is “saving the nation, achieving victory.” Thousands of terrorists have been killed, he says, “and that is only the beginning.”
Netanyahu says there was a unanimous decision about the timing of the ground incursion. “The timing of the operation was determined unanimously by the war cabinet and the chief of staff,” he says.
“We will extract the full price from those murderers, those perpetrators of atrocities… from Hamas-Daesh,” in the ground invasion, he says, The Times of Israel reported.
He again called on Gazan noncombatants to head to southern Gaza.
He said the huge pain of the loss of 1,400 people in the Hamas onslaught is not forgotten, referring to “our brothers and sisters who were slaughtered in cold blood and who fell in heroic battles” against the predators.
He added the days of mourning will be called in memory of those killed in the assault.
Netanyahu vowed that the devastated southern kibbutzim and communities will be rebuilt.
The prime minister stressed that government ministries are coming up with plans to take care of the displaced in Israel and to take care of the rest of the population “just like we did during COVID.
“Hamas is ISIS, and ISIS is Hamas,” Netanyahu said.
The Times of Israel reported, that PM Netanyahu said the war is one for the sake of all humanity, and that the world now understands that Israel’s fight is their fight, that this is a fight of light against darkness.
