Israel hit Gaza with a series of “extensive strikes” during the night, promising to open the “doors of hell” because Hamas has not launched the remaining hostages.
The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Israel Katz, said that Israel’s defense forces are attacking Hamas’ terrorists throughout the region and will perform with a “growing military force” against Hamas from now on.
Hospital sources in Gaza told ABC News, at least 34 people have been killed in generalized strikes.
“Tonight we fought again in Gaza due to Hamas’ negative to free the hostages and threats to damage the SDI soldiers and Israeli communities,” Katz said in a statement.
“If Hamas does not launch all hostages, the doors of hell will open in Gaza,” he added.

The strikes are attacking areas in Gaza, including Rafah, Khan Younis, Deir Al-Balah, Nuseirat, Al-Bureij, Al-Zaytoun, Al-Karama and Beit Hanoun.
Netanyahu and Katz said that changes in the defensive guidelines of the FDIs occur after Hamas “rejected all the offers” in a conclusive hostage agreement with Steve Witkoff, the special envoy of the United States to the Middle East.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump went to his social networks to threaten Hamas with a “last warning” about the remaining hostages.
Trump wrote in Truth Social on March 7 that “will be finished” for Hamas if he does not comply.
“I am sending Israel everything you need to finish the job, or a single Hamas member will be safe if you do not do what I say,” he added.
Witkoff reiterated the president’s threat at that time, saying: “He would not try President Trump.”
It is believed that fifty -nine hostages remain in Gaza, 24 of which it is presumed to be alive. Edan Alexander is the last American-Israeli hostage to remain alive in captivity.
