Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Friday that Gaza City would be completely destroyed if Hamas does not agree on Israel's conditions for ending the war, which include the release of all hostages and complete disarmament.

"Soon, the gates of hell will open upon the heads of Hamas's murderers and rapists in Gaza — until they agree to Israel's conditions for ending the war," Katz posted on X after operational plans for military action in Gaza City were approved.
