Netanyahu: Hamas leaders 'are all dead men,' insists on total victory

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reaffirmed his intention to lead the country to "total victory" in the war against the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, despite efforts to organize a ceasefire.

"We are on the way to total victory. On the way to this victory, we already eliminated number four in Hamas. Three, two and one are on the way," he said in a video message on Monday.

"They are all dead men, we will reach them all," he added.
