Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday openly boasted that his army leveled 50 residential towers in Gaza City within two days, pledging more demolitions and forced expulsions of Palestinians.
"In the past two days, 50 of these towers have fallen. The air force brought them down,” Netanyahu said in a video statement.
"Now all of this is just an introduction, just a prelude, to the main intense operation – a ground maneuver of our forces, who are now organizing and gathering in Gaza City.”
Netanyahu pledged to proceed with forced displacement plans. "This is just the prelude to the main powerful operation, so I tell Gaza residents: you have been warned, get out of there.”
The Palestinian resistance group Hamas denounced Netanyahu’s boasting as "one of the ugliest forms of sadism and criminality” in full view of the world.
