"We'll Change The Face Of Reality In Gaza": Israel's Defence Minister | Read

As gun battles raged between Israeli security forces and hundreds of Hamas group fighters in at least 22 locations, Israel's defence minister Yoav Gallant today issued a threat to "change the face of reality" in Gaza. Over 200 Israelis and 232 Palestinians were killed on Saturday in the deadliest escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in decades, after the Hamas group launched a massive rocket barrage and ground, air, and sea offensive, prompting Israel to respond with intense airstrikes. "Today, we have seen the face of evil. Hamas launched a criminal attack, without distinguishing between women, children and the elderly. It will realise very quickly that it made a grave mistake. We will change the face of reality in the Gaza Strip," Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant said in a video statement.
