"Netanyahu vows long-lasting retaliation against Hamas, compares them to ISIS"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu compared Hamas to ISIS in a speech, vowing that Israel's retaliation against the terrorist organization for killing and kidnapping civilians will have long-lasting consequences. Netanyahu stated that the atrocities committed by Hamas are reminiscent of those carried out by ISIS, calling them "savages." He also reportedly told US President Biden that Israel has no choice but to unleash an all-out ground operation in Gaza. The four-day war has already claimed at least 1,600 lives, with Hamas warning of executing the civilian hostages it has abducted.
