Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli soldiers stationed at the Netzarim Corridor, which divides the Gaza Strip, amid ongoing military operations. Wearing a helmet and bulletproof vest, Netanyahu announced a $5 million reward for rescuing Israeli prisoners from Gaza, promising safe passage for them and their families.
Accompanied by Defense Minister Israel Katz, Netanyahu emphasized that one of Israel’s objectives is to prevent Hamas from governing Gaza. He stated, “We are making every effort to locate the prisoners and bring them home, dead or alive.”
