Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged the difficulty of minimizing civilian casualties in the conflict with Hamas, stating in an interview with CBS News, "Any civilian death is a tragedy... Unfortunately, we're not successful" despite extensive measures such as leaflet warnings and evacuation calls. Netanyahu emphasized Israel's attempts to protect civilians, contrasting it with Hamas's actions. The ongoing military campaign, aimed at destroying Hamas, has resulted in widespread displacement and casualties, with Gaza health authorities reporting over 11,500 confirmed deaths, over 4,700 of them are children. Netanyahu expressed the intention to conclude the operation with minimal civilian casualties but conceded the challenges faced in achieving this goal.
