Israeli forces reach edge of Gaza Strip, PM Netanyahu says, “nothing will stop us”

On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with soldiers from a variety of units during a visit to Israel Defence Forces’ Marom Brigade at the Adam Base. He declared that “nothing will stop us” as the Israeli troops approached the edge of Gaza City.

The commanders of the units briefed the Israeli prime minister on their recent activities, which included rescuing civilians and removing terrorists from the area near the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu also witnessed a demonstration of the elite units’ exceptional operational skills and the application of their specialised gear, which will be utilised in the fighting in Gaza and other areas.

There, he informed the soldiers, the Israeli military has achieved “very impressive successes”. “We have already reached Gaza City’s periphery. We’re making progress,” he said.

“We also have losses, painful losses, because every soldier who falls is an entire world, and our hearts are with the families. But I want to make one thing clear, one of the soldiers said it just now – nothing will stop us,” said the Israeli Prime Minister.

In a surprise attack on October 7, Israel claims that Hamas terrorists killed 1,400 people, the majority of whom were civilians, and kidnapped over 240 others.

At least 9,061 people have died as a result of Israel’s subsequent bombardment in Gaza Strip, according to Gaza health authorities.
