Gaza Strip
The terrorist organization in Gaza was no longer releasing hostages while taking in the benefits of a ceasefire, the Minister of Foreign Affairs said.
The people who are suffering in Gaza owe that to “choices that Hamas has made throughout the years, and that is what we continue to work on,” said State Dept. spokesperson Tammy Bruce.
“The murderous Hamas needs to understand: If they do not release all our hostages, our blows will intensify,” said Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
“If the attack that began this morning continues with intensity and without interruption—we can bring all our loved ones home in one stage.”
“The Palestinian people will not be left alone in this battle, and Yemen will continue its support and assistance,” said the Iran-backed terror group.
“We are more determined than ever to complete the mission and destroy” the Gaza-based terror group, Israel’s finance minister wrote.
“This follows Hamas’s repeated refusal to release our hostages, as well as its rejection of all of the proposals it has received,” the Israeli prime minister’s office stated • IDF Home Front Command orders schools near the border closed until further notice.
“Hamas cannot and will not be allowed to rule Gaza into the future,” the U.S. national security advisor told Fox News.
“In the end, Gaza’s governmental capabilities need to be destroyed,” said the Israeli finance minister.
The terrorists were attempting to plant explosive devices in the ground, according to the Israeli military.
The campaign was launched by the family of Yarden Bibas and seeks to help his rehabilitation and dream to memorialize his wife Shiri and children Ariel and Kfir, all of whom were murdered in captivity in the Gaza Strip.
“What happened with the Houthis yesterday ... ought to inform as to where we stand with regard to terrorism,” said U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff.
