Israel’s beleaguered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to fight until “absolute victory” after the deadliest single day for Israeli troops in Gaza fighting since October.
Netanyahu said it is “one of the hardest days since the outbreak of the war” after 24 soldiers were killed.
The army will launch an investigation into an attack after Palestinian fighters targeted a tank with rocket-propelled grenades, setting off a secondary explosion that brought two buildings down on the troops. “We must draw the necessary lessons and do everything to preserve the lives of our warriors.”
In a post on X, Netanyahu wrote: “In the name of our heroes, and for our own lives, we will not stop fighting until absolute victory.”
