In a video shared in the post, Netanyahu asks troops, "Are you ready for the next stage?"
"The next stage is coming," he says, without stating what the next stage of Israel's conflict with Hamas is.
Israel has called up some 360,000 troops and amassed forces on the border with Gaza ahead of an anticipated ground assault to annihilate Hamas' capabilities.

Israel had given the entire 1.1 million population of the northern half of the Gaza Strip, which includes the enclave's biggest settlement, Gaza City, until Saturday morning to move south.
As that deadline approached, it said it would guarantee the safety of Palestinians fleeing on two main roads until 4:00 pm local time. That deadline expired with no immediate announcement from either side of any change in the situation.
Netanyahu delivered an address from Tel Aviv on Wednesday, saying that "every Hamas fighter . . . will be destroyed," and praised President Biden for his "heartfelt" support.

"How horrific it is, how painful it is," he said. The prime minister said that every person in Israel knows someone who lost their lives in the attacks on Saturday.
Netanyahu, former Prime Minister Yair Lapid and former Defense Minister Benny Gantz formed an emergency unity government days after the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust was carried out by Hamas terrorists.
At least 3,200 people have been killed in the war on both sides, including at least 1,300 Israeli civilians and soldiers and 27 Americans. Palestinian health authorities say at least 2,215 Palestinians have been killed, and more than 8,700 wounded
