Defense minister threatens Hamas leaders abroad

Defense Minister Israel Katz threatens Hamas leaders abroad following yesterday’s deadly attack on troops in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

“Dozens of Hamas commanders were eliminated in a powerful IDF operation since yesterday in response to the attack on IDF soldiers and the blatant violation of the agreement to return the fallen hostages, in addition to strikes on dozens of infrastructure targets,” Katz says in a statement as the ceasefire takes effect again.

“There is and will be no immunity for anyone in the leadership of the Hamas terror organization, neither for those wearing suits nor for those hiding in tunnels. Anyone who raises a hand against IDF soldiers, his hand will be severed,” he says.

Katz adds that “anyone who attacks IDF soldiers and breaches agreements will pay the full price.”
