Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited northern Gaza on Tuesday, accompanied by the country's defense minister, head of the military and other senior officials, his office said, APA reports citing Reuters.
A statement released by the prime minister's office said Netanyahu received a security briefing in northern Gaza on the military's effort to free Israeli hostages and to defeat Hamas.
"We insist that our hostages be released and we insist on achieving all of our objectives for the war, and are doing so thanks to our heroic fighters," Netanyahu's office cited the prime minister as saying during a meeting with soldiers.
