Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday night that the hostage release deal with Hamas does not mark the end of the war.
"We are committed to continuing until all our goals are met: securing the return of all our hostages, eradicating Hamas and ensuring that no group supporting terrorism, indoctrinating its children to terror or paying terrorists and their families, takes control in Gaza.
Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel. We will restore security both to the south and the north, he told a press conference.
