Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that military pressure will be maintained against Hamas.
Last Friday, Israel admitted to mistakenly killing three members associated with Hamas. Following this, relatives of the victims in Gaza appealed to Israel for their release and called for negotiations. Netanyahu made this declaration in the midst of these developments.
During the firing of shots by the Israeli military, the soldiers were carrying three white flags as a sign of surrender. They had also made an appeal for assistance in Hebrew. The Israeli military has confirmed these details.
