Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned on Tuesday that "gates of hell will open" if Hamas does not release Israeli hostages immediately.
"Hamas must realize that the rules of the game have changed, and if it does not immediately release all the hostages, the gates of hell will open, and it will find itself facing the full intensity of the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] in the air, sea, and land, until its complete elimination," Katz stated during a visit to the Tel Nof Airbase.
The minister's remarks come after Israel renewed airstrikes on Gaza overnight, violating the fragile ceasefire, and leaving over 400 dead.
