Israel vows revenge against Hamas for parading bodies of hostages: We will settle the score

Israel has vowed to “settle the score” with Hamas after the terror group held a propaganda-filled parade during Thursday’s hostage exchange, where it blamed the Jewish state and America for the death of the four captives.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the nation was grieving the deaths of the hostages — including Kfir Bibas, who was kidnapped when he was just 9 months old — with the premier warning Hamas that retribution is coming.“We are all outraged at the Hamas monsters,” Netanyahu said on X.“The voice of our dear ones’ blood cries out to us from the ground.“It requires us to settle accounts with the depraved murderers – and we will settle the score with them,” he added.The barbaric treatment drew condemnations from around the world — and even from Saudi Arabia’s grand mufti, who called the display, “a disgrace to Islam.”The premier then quoted Psalm 94: “O God of vengeance, O Lord; O God show vengeance.”Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed the outrage and said that Hamas will pay for what it’s done.
