Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with soldiers wounded during the war and told them: "Eliminating Hamas and freeing all our hostages - these work together. This is how we're doing it." He added: "In the coming days, we will enter with full force to complete the operation to defeat Hamas. Our forces are there now. Hamas might say 'okay - we want to release 10 more.' There will be no situation where we stop the war." Netanyahu noted that a decision was passed to allocate approximately 4 billion shekels in assistance for reserve soldiers, their families and their partners.
