Israel-Hamas war: Israel's attempts to minimise civilian casualties ‘not successful,’ says PM Benjamin Netanyahu
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel's attempts to minimise civilian casualties were “not successful", and he further accused Hamas of preventing civilians from moving to safer locations. As reported by Reuters, during an interview with US television's CBS News on Thursday, Netanyahu faced inquiries regarding the possibility that the actions of Israel, which have led to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, might sow seeds of animosity in a new generation. “Any civilian death is a tragedy.
And we shouldn't have any because we're doing everything we can to get the civilians out of harm's way, while Hamas is doing everything to keep them in harm's way," Netanyahu said.
