🔶 Katz: If an Israeli soldier or citizen is kidnapped, the entire city of Gaza will be evacuated

Yisrael Katz, Israel’s defense minister, said that there is intelligence evidence indicating that Hamas intends once again to kidnap Israeli citizens.

Speaking on Tuesday, September 22 (31 Shahrivar), at a memorial event for the victims of the Yom Kippur War, he warned that if an Israeli soldier or citizen is kidnapped, the country’s army would “evacuate the entire city of Gaza and level it to the ground.”

The Israeli defense minister did not provide further details on this matter, but in his warning he addressed both the terrorist organization Hamas and the Islamic Republic of Iran and Turkey.
