Israel Transitions from Memorial Day to Independence Day, Leaders Renew Gaza Victory Pledge

JERUSALEM, Israel – A siren sounded for two minutes Monday morning as Israel commemorated its Memorial Day to honor the nation's war dead and those who died in terror attacks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to continue the Rafah operation in Gaza and shared what wounded soldiers from the war told him.

"All of them (the wounded soldiers that he visited in hospital), without exception, told me – even the amputees – they told me the spirit of the people lifts them up. Keep going until victory and that's how we will do it. The spirit of the people, with God's help, will continue to lift us up in the fateful challenges that are still ahead of us and that we had in our 76 years of independence," Netanyahu declared.
