Defending Israel's position on the Gaza crisis, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly said that he realizes that with every Palestine civilian felling to death by an Israeli bullet, the world opinion on Israel is shifting away from his side but the erosion of trust and reputation cannot supersede the country's security concerns.

Alleging that the Islamist militant group, Hamas, is using human shields against Israel's military operation in Gaza, Netanyahu maintained that Israel is not targeting civilians in Gaza, reported News 24.

He also added that Hamas wants to pile dead bodies for cameras to capture and therefore, it must be disarmed and discredited.
