Israel Will Ensure “This Never Happens Again”, Says Country’s Former PM

Days after the Hamas group attacked, Yair Lapid, the country’s former prime minister said that Israel will make sure that “this never happens again”, according to a report from NDTV.

On how Israel would respond to these attacks, he said, “The most urgent thing is we deny Hamas these capabilities and make sure they never again have the opportunity to massacre women, children and the elderly. As the Prime Minister said, this is going to be difficult and hard, and we would have to be patient.”

In response to the Hamas attack, Israel has begun a brutal counterattack. According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the country will “forcefully avenge this dark day.” Israel’s retaliatory attacks and the Hamas attack have resulted in the deaths of over 1,100 people.

“There is going to be a military operation, incursion is not out of the question because we have to make sure this does not happen again,” Lapid said amid Israel’s counter-attack Gaza Strip.

On hostages that Hamas operatives have taken, he said, “We have so many people in captivity, we want to see them back.”

“Iran is behind a lot of what is going on, and they are accountable. We are going to make sure everybody understands that the reaction is going to be devastating for whoever is going to try to hurt our people,” he said.

He further added, “We are going to do our best to avoid the killing of bystanders, but there will collateral damage because this is war in a very dense area. People of Gaza should do their best to go as far as they can from Hamas facilities because we are going to hunt for them. Unlike them, we are doing our best to avoid collateral damage, but war is war.”
