Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed US warnings to halt the military operation in Gaza, saying Israel will fight on, even if it means standing alone. The US has suspended delivery of bombs and artillery shells, citing concerns over civilian deaths. Despite pressure, Netanyahu invoked Israel's War of Independence, saying the country emerged victorious against all odds. Defence Minister Yoav Gallant also rejected US warnings, stating Israel cannot be subdued. The operation has sparked international concern, with thousands fleeing the southern city of Rafah. The US has warned of further action if the operation continues.
