Netanyahu declared to Gaza — in almost Biblical language — that it will bring the region into ruins for the crimes committed by Hamas (which is supported by the entire population of Gaza). As we read in YNet:
“What happened today will not be seen in Israel, and I will make sure that it does not happen again,” said the Prime Minister in the shadow of criticism for the lack of preparedness for the surprise attack. “The entire government stands behind this decision. The IDF will immediately use all its power to destroy Hamas’ capabilities. We will cripple them to the point of destruction and we will avenge strongly for the black day they have brought upon Israel and its citizens.”
…
The Prime Minister called Gaza “the city of evil”, and made it clear that “we will turn all the places where Hamas was organized and hiding into cities of ruins. I say to the residents of Gaza – get out of there now. We will act everywhere and with all our strength.”
Israel must level Gaza to the ground and bring it to ruins. You cannot have a nation right next to you that enters your country and massacres your people and let them get away with it. You cannot allow a vicious nation the leeway to enter your nation and butcher your people. Punishment and destruction must come.

This is Israel bombing Gaza. Not a part of retaliation this is from before. Israel has been murdering Palestinian children for years.
It’s the Palestinians that are retaliating. pic.twitter.com/kJ0Dj7x6nX
