Israel’s Katz says Gaza is ‘burning’

Israeli Defence Minister Yisrael Katz said on Tuesday that Gaza is "burning," stating that his country "will not retreat."

This comes as the Israeli army intensified its bombardment of the Strip.

Katz claimed that the Israeli army "is striking the terrorist infrastructure with an iron fist, and soldiers are fighting bravely to create the conditions for the release of prisoners and the defeat of Hamas”.

He added: “We will not stop and we will not retreat until we accomplish our mission.”
