IDF Spokesman Maj. Marcus Sheff said 'Well, I will say that as far as the IDF is concerned, there was an expectation that no decent person could possibly find any justification, any reason for the enormity of the attacks that we saw on Oct. 7.'
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Tuesday said that it was important to recognize the attacks by Hamas on Israel "did not happen in a vacuum."
Israel, angered by the Secretary-General's remarks, says it will refuse to issue visas for U.N. representatives to teach them a lesson, The Guardian reported. Israel will make sure that the Hamas perpetrators will never be able to do that again, he said, and the IDF has been focused on taking out Hamas' leadership, terrorists, and infrastructure.
The IDF spokesman said he couldn't respond to reports that an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza may be imminent.
