"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.
