“Tonight, we returned to fight in Gaza, refusing to release Hamas hostage and threatening to damage the IDF soldiers and Israeli communities,” said Katz. “If Hamas does not release all the hostages, the doors of hell will open in Gaza, and will meet Hamas’s killers and rapist IDFs who will meet with the armies they never knew before.”
He said that Israel “will not stop fighting until all the hostages return home and all the goals of war are achieved.”
In a statement, Hamas convicted Netanyahu “and the Nazi Zioni business is fully responsible for the consequences of the treacherous aggression on Gaza, and to the protected citizens and our surrounded Palestinians, who are subject to a systematic policy of a cruel war and starvation.”
The terrorist group called the United Nations and the United Nations Security Council to work immediately to adopt Israel to demand military operations and fully withdraw Palestinian resistance from Gaza and to Muslim countries.
Hamas has emphasized on sticking with the basic conditions of the deal, with Israel to permanently eliminate the war from Gaza and permanently eliminate the war in exchange for the release of the remaining living hostages.
Netanyahu has long stressed that Israel will not end the war until Hamas’s glory and military capabilities are destroyed.
There are attacks after a ceasefire of about two months to prevent a 17 -month long war, where dozens of hostages were released for about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
