Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed a strong retaliation against Hamas in response to the killing of six hostages, whose bodies were rescued over the weekend. Netanyahu indicated that the retaliation would be similar to the strike against Hezbollah in July, which resulted in the death of the Iran-backed group's top commander Fu'ad Shukr.
During a news conference on Monday night, Netanyahu stated, 'We're going to exact a heavy price from Hamas. I'm not going to disclose the specifics of our response, but there will be an element of surprise.'
