The Israeli army has said they will carry out extended attacks in Gaza, even if Israeli captives will get hurt as a result, according to Israel’s Army Radio, a nationwide radio network operated by the Israeli army.
The military also said 1,000 targets have been hit. Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s finance minister, echoed these sentiments in an earlier statement in a cabinet meeting.
“We have to be cruel now and not consider the captives overmuch,” Smotrich said.
