Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the country is \u201cembarking on a long and difficult war\u201d as it deals with hostage situation after Palestinian militants launch surprise air, land, and sea attacks, which has claimed lives of hundreds. The terrorists have also infiltrated the Israeli territory and kidnapped its civilians.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, has been the deadliest day for the country in decades for Israel and come after months or surging violence between Palestinians and Israelis with the decades-long conflict now heading into uncharted and dangerous new territory. Questions are also being raised over how the intelligence service of the entire country was caught off-guard, which has been termed as one of the nation\u2019s worst security failure.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s political-security cabinet convened late Saturday and made a \u201cseries of operational decisions\u201d aimed towards weakening the military and governmental capabilities of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, in such a way that would negate their ability and desire to harm the country or its citizens for many years to come, as per a statement by PM Netanyahu.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Netanyahu vowed \u201cmighty vengeance\u201d against the Palestinian militant group Hamas.<\/p>\n
As reported by local media, more than 350 Israelis have been killed and 1,500+ have been injured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
