Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday said atrocities committed by Hamas during its attack on Israel mirrored those carried out by the jihadist group Islamic State.
JERUSALEM - Netanyahu in broadcast remarks recounted how some Israelis were killed during the Hamas incursion, saying tied-up children were executed. This, he said, was on par with brutal killings carried out by Islamic State, also known as ISIS. "The atrocities committed by Hamas have not been seen since ISIS atrocities.
Bound children executed along with their families. Young men and women shot in the back, executed. Other horrors I won't describe here," Netanyahu said. "We have always known who Hamas is. Now the entire world knows. Hamas is ISIS. And we will defeat it just like the enlightened world defeated ISIS. This vile enemy wanted war and it will get war," he said. — Reuters
