Israel's Netanyahu vows to 'eliminate Hamas' and 'return hostages'

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to destroy Hamas and bring home all captives held by the Palestinian militant group following a fifth hostage-prisoner exchange on Saturday under a ceasefire deal in Gaza.

"We will eliminate Hamas, and we will return our hostages," Netanyahu said in a video statement, denouncing the militants as "monsters" after the handover of three hostages in Gaza early Saturday, during which they appeared emaciated and were compelled to speak on stage.
