Israel will increase military pressure on radicals in the Gaza Strip until they release the hostages.

 

This was stated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The longer they do not return, the stronger the pressure will be until they do,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier, The Times of Israel wrote that the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) will expand operations in the Gaza Strip to increase the buffer zone.
