Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar had "settled the score with him," but stressed that "the task before us [Israel] is not yet complete."
Netanyahu said Israel's focus was on securing the return of the roughly 100 hostages still in Gaza, taken during Hamas' brutal Oct. 7 attack last year, of whom a third are believed to be dead.
"This is an important moment in the war," Netanyahu said to the families of the hostages, according to the Reuters news agency. "We will continue full force until the return home of all your loved ones, who are our loved ones, too. This is our supreme obligation. This is my supreme obligation."
