Netanyahu said - This war can last a long time, we will definitely win it
Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the public on Saturday night amidst the war. He said- This war can go on for a long time. We will destroy Hamas by using the full power of our defense forces. People living in Gaza should get out.

He said- Israel had never seen what happened on Saturday and we will never let it happen again. Hamas wants to kill us all. He is killing mothers and children in their homes. He is an enemy who targets the elderly, children and girls. They are massacring children and civilians enjoying the holidays.

Earlier on Saturday, Netanyahu had declared war. After the emergency meeting with the cabinet, he had said – This is a war and we will definitely win it. The enemies will have to pay the price for this.

3 reasons for the recent attack...
1. Israel was still busy on the domestic front. The public was against the move to reduce the powers of the judicial system.

2. It was the last day of Simchat Torah, the Jewish holy festival, and people were in celebration.

3. October 6 was the 50th anniversary of the war that took place in 1973. On 6 October 73, neighboring countries attacked Israel. Jews keep fast on this day to atone for sins. That means their faith has been attacked.

Conditions for a major attack started forming from April
Indications of fresh attacks started appearing from April. In fact, Israeli military operations were being conducted repeatedly in the West Bank area. Then Gaza decided to respond to Israel in the same language. Small fighting broke out between Israel and Hamas in May. A week later, three Hamas leaders were killed in Israeli air strikes. That conflict was ended by Egypt and the UN.
