Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that "Israel" is engaged in a "difficult existential war," bearing painful costs along the way.

Netanyahu’s statement followed a ramming Resistance operation near the Israeli occupation's Glilot base, north of Tel Aviv.

"We await the final investigation into the Glilot incident," he added.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation Security Minister Yoav Gallant suggested that retrieving Israeli captives from Gaza "will require painful concessions from our part," noting that "not every objective is achieved through military action, and force is not a substitute for everything."

Netanyahu and Gallant's statements were preceded by remarks from Israeli military officials, who indicated that it may be time for the Israeli government to express readiness to halt the war on Gaza in exchange for the return of the captives.

Resistance factions praise Glilot operation: 'Massive blow to Israel'

Palestinian Resistance factions and the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon praised the vehicle ramming operation at the Glilot junction in the suburbs of Tel Aviv, which resulted in approximately 6 deaths and 50 injuries, including 10 in critical condition. This operation was seen as a bold statement amid ongoing tensions.

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, stated that the heroic vehicle attack near the Mossad headquarters north of Tel Aviv was a "natural response" to the Israeli occupation's crimes against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, including al-Quds, highlighting the ongoing brutal massacres, particularly in northern Gaza.

Hamas wrote in its statement that the heroic operation reaffirms the determination of the resilient Palestinian people to confront the Israeli killing and terror machine. They remain committed to the path of Resistance and sacrifice until the "will of the fascist enemy is shattered," leading to its defeat and accountability for its brutal crimes.
