Israel’s Katz Issues Stark Warning to Gaza Following Air Force Attack

"The air force attack is the first step. The rest will be much more difficult, and you will pay the full price." Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz issued a “last warning” to Palestinians in Gaza, stating in a video message that they should follow the advice of US President Donald Trump and "return the hostages and expel Hamas." “The alternative is total destruction and devastation,” Katz said. Israel resumed air strikes on the strip early on Tuesday morning, killing over 436 Palestinians and wounding more than 678, according to Palestinian health officials. Among the dead are 183 children and 94 women, according to the health ministry. The total number of Palestinians killed by Israel since 7 October 2023 has now risen to 49,547.
