Netanyahu said he's spoken to Trump three times since the election.
The Israel Defense Forces continued its intense airstrike and ground campaigns in Gaza -- particularly in the north of the strip -- and in Lebanon, with Israeli attacks on targets nationwide including in the capital Beirut.
Tensions remain high between Israel and Iran after the former launched what it called "precise strikes on military targets" in several locations in Iran following Tehran's Oct. 1 missile barrage.
The Israel Defense Forces said Sunday that it had killed "a significant figure for the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization."
Muhammad Abu Sakhil, the organization's head of operations, died in what the IDF described in its statement as a "precise strike" on a "control and command center" in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement Sunday to mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht, highlighting the violence Thursday on the streets of Amsterdam that authorities said targeted Israeli soccer fans there, saying in a statement translated from Hebrew: "We will do what is necessary to defend ourselves and our citizens. We will never allow the atrocities of history to recur."
Netanyahu also said he has spoken to President-elect Donald Trump three times since the election.
"These were very good and important talks designed to further enhance the steadfast bond between Israel and the U.S.," Netanyahu said. "We see eye to eye on the Iranian threat in all its aspects, and on the dangers they reflect. We also see the great opportunities facing Israel, in the area of peace and its expansion, and in other areas."

At least 50 people -- including women and children -- were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza over the past 24 hours, the Hamas-run health ministry said Sunday.
Another 164 were injured in those attacks, the ministry said, adding that a number of victims are believed to be buried under rubble where aid teams cannot reach them.
Medical officials reported that at least 36 people were killed in the same attack on a home in the northern city of Jabalia. The Associated Press reported that 17 bodies -- among them those of nine women -- were taken to Al-Ahly Hospital in Gaza City after the strike.
The Israel Defense Forces is yet to comment on the strike.
