JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel would “crush and destroy” Hamas in response to its attack.

Netanyahu said every Hamas member was a “dead man.”

Netanyahu made the remarks in a late-night televised address as Israeli planes pounded Gaza in response to the unprecedented attack.

    Funny way to spell war crimes.

    And how exactly is he supposed to “make up” for all the dead civilians? Killing a bunch of Palestinians won’t bring anyone back.

      Is holding kidnapped civilians as prisoners. Getting them back would be a large part of making up for defensive failures.
