The US president says Hamas' attack was a campaign of 'not just hate, but cruelty' against the Jewish people, while Foreign Minister Penny Wong says a third repatriation flight out of Israel will be arranged for Australians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that Hamas militants beheaded soldiers and raped women in their attack on Israel. He vowed that Israel would “crush and destroy” Hamas in response to the attack.
Netanyahu said every Hamas member was a “dead man”, Netanyahu made the remarks in a late-night televised address on the war's fifth day as Israeli planes pounded Gaza. The prime minister’s allegations could not be independently confirmed, and authorities did not immediately offer further details. Rescue workers and witnesses have described horrifying scenes, including the slaughter of elderly people and finding bloody rooms crowded with massacred civilians.
