Gaza Breaking: Katz Says ‘Will open GATES OF HELL’ For HAMAS Fighters, Threatens Iran Backed Forces

Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, marking the decisive stage of war against Hamas. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the “gates of hell” will open on Hamas unless hostages are freed and weapons surrendered. With 60,000 reservists, the IDF plans a four-phase offensive—encirclement, evacuation, and a final push into Gaza City. Netanyahu vowed no hostage will be left behind, while Trump backed Hamas’ “complete destruction.” Thousands flee south as Israel intensifies its most ambitious Gaza operation yet. #Israel #Hamas #GazaWar #OperationGideonsChariots #IsraelKatz #Netanyahu #MiddleEastWar #Trump #HostageCrisis #IDF #IsraelVsHamas #BreakingNews #WarInGaza #MilitaryOffensive #GazaUnderAttack #MiddleEastCrisis #DecisiveStage #IsraelStrikes #GazaCity #IsraelDefenseForces #GlobalConflict #SecurityCrisis #IsraelWarUpdate #HamasTargeted
