Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced today, Monday, "We are progressing towards the end stage of eliminating Hamas's military capabilities, and there will be a continuation of strikes against what remains." Netanyahu viewed the release of the director of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, as a severe mistake and an ethical failure. The decision to release the director of al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip, who had been detained in an Israeli prison, caused confusion and widespread reactions in Israel.
