Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underlines that the Israeli occupation has no option but victory in the war on Gaza, claiming that there would be no settlement-building in the Strip.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Saturday that the Israeli occupation's invasion of Gaza would continue to rage on at "full force" as battles continue to escalate and Israeli losses mount.

Speaking during a televised speech, Netanyahu underlined that any prospected ceasefire depended on the release of all 239 captives still with Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza despite his IOF having already killed numerous captives in their brutal, indiscriminate airstrikes.

"The war against them is advancing with full force, and it has one goal, to win. There is no alternative to victory," Netanyahu said as the invading Israeli forces seemed to be suffering in the close-quarter modern combat they were forced into while facing off against the Palestinian Resistance.

The spokesperson for Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, announced the "total or partial destruction of over 160 units of Zionist [Israel's] military equipment since the start of the ground invasion of the enemy, hitting over 25 units over the past 48 hours alone."

Following a recent announcement noting the five new deaths in the Gaza Strip, the IOF claimed that the death toll of the soldiers killed in Gaza is 43 since the start of the ground invasion.

This apparent "victory" vowed by Netanyahu apparently depends on the Israeli occupation forces reaching the proximity of Al-Shifa Hospital, wherein thousands of Palestinian refugees are taking shelter from the Israeli bombardment that has killed more than 11,000 people thus far. This objective would kill hundreds if not thousands of people, though the IOF are adamant about advancing toward Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

"Israel" bombed Al-Shifa Medical Complex, in Gaza, with internationally prohibited white phosphorus, the Palestinian Minister of Health, Mai al-Kaila confirmed the reports on Saturday.

The Minister also revealed that 39 children and infants who were administered to the intensive care unit are close to dying as oxygen supplies are running out in Al-Shifa Hospital. Al-Kaila stressed that "patients in al-Shifa Complex are threatened with imminent death."

In light of the heavy Israeli shelling, the Ministry of Health announced that 198 members of the health staff were martyred, 53 ambulances were destroyed, 135 health facilities were bombed, and 21 hospitals and 47 primary care centers were shuttered since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza.

No settlements in Gaza

On another note, Netanyahu addressed during a press conference the issue of building illegal Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip. He claimed that the Israeli occupation would not continue building settlements in the strip and dismissed the return of such practice in Gaza.

Netanyahu insisted that the IOF only sought to "demilitarize" Gaza.

In a separate development, Netanyahu addressed concerns about Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip during a press conference. He categorically stated that "Israel" would not continue building such settlements in the region, dismissing the possibility of their return as "unrealistic". Netanyahu emphasized "Israel's" focus on maintaining security control and demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, the Israeli Prime Minister expressed opposition to transferring administrative control of the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority.

This comes after thousands of Israeli settlers have been demanding that "Israel" invade Gaza, completely eradicate its population, and then atop its ruins build a new Israeli settlement or resort called "Nova", among other names.

However, according to the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) senior official Talal Abu Zarifeh speaking to Al Mayadeen in late October, Israeli occupation forces were even unable to secure the Gaza Envelope settlements let alone invade and conquer Gaza.

Abu Zarifeh stressed the ability of the Resistance to increase the count of casualties among occupation soldiers and augment the count of captives it currently detains, estimated to be at a minimum of 200, underlining that the Resistance would surprise the Israeli occupation forces with its ability to expand the battle and drag it on for long periods of time.
