Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that “no one will stop us” from destroying the Hamas terrorist group running Gaza as the two sides’ war entered its 100th day.

“No one will stop us — not The Hague, not the Axis of Evil and no one else,” Netanyahu told a televised news conference on Saturday, referring to the Iran-aligned “axis of resistance” groups in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

“It is possible and necessary to continue until victory and we will do it,” he added, saying most Hamas battalions in Gaza had been “eliminated.”

Netanyahu’s vow was made as the conflict has triggered a humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory and threaten to turn into a regional crisis as other countries are dragged into the fighting.

More than 23,000 people were reported killed in Gaza, its health ministry claims, and much of the besieged land is reduced to rubble.

The United States conducted fresh air strikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen on Saturday after the rebels warned of more attacks in support of Gaza on what they deem Israeli-linked Red Sea shipping.

The US Central Command said its forces hit a Houthi radar site, a day after the first strikes by US and British forces on rebel sites in Yemen.

The war in Gaza was triggered on 7 October when Hamas terrorists launched an unprecedented attack from the Gaza Strip that resulted in about 1,140 deaths in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an Agence France-Presse tally based on official figures.

Hamas, considered a “terrorist” group by the US and the European Union, also seized about 250 hostages, 132 of whom Israel says remain in Gaza, including at least 25 believed to have been killed.

After the Hague-based International Court of Justice heard arguments this week that accused Israel of breaching the United Nations Genocide Convention, Netanyahu insisted no court or military foe could stop Israel from achieving its aim of destroying Hamas.
