Israel Katz warns Gaza: "Release the hostages and lay down your arms – or Gaza will be destroyed, and you will be annihilated"

In a message posted on X, Israeli official Israel Katz warned that a massive military offensive will take place in Gaza, urging Hamas to release the hostages and lay down their arms. This message comes in the context of the intensification of Israeli army attacks since August 10, which have led to massive displacements of Palestinian civilians and a declaration of famine in the region.
