Kats warns of Gaza evacuation over kidnappings

Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz threatened to evacuate the entire Gaza City, whose population is around one million people, and push them southward if an Israeli soldier or civilian is kidnapped. He clarified that this measure would involve evacuating all homes and towers in the Gaza Strip and would be carried out over 70% of Gaza until the hostage is recovered. Katz also confirmed that Israel will not retreat from its current positions inside the territory until Hamas is removed and Gaza is fully disarmed. These statements come amid escalating tensions in Gaza, with Israeli airstrikes continuing on the sector despite a declared ceasefire since last October.
