Israel announced the destruction of “25 terror towers” in Gaza and issued new threats to Hamas if the militants do not lay down their arms and release the hostages, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz reports on X.

“Yesterday, with the start of the ground maneuver and the transfer of command responsibility to the division commanders in the field, 25 terror towers were destroyed in Gaza! An enormous and significant number,” Katz wrote, publishing a photo of one of the destroyed buildings.

Katz also added that in order to eliminate any sniper threats, “the terrorists were neutralized” and their infrastructure destroyed.

“Gaza residents were required to move south for their protection,” the Israeli Defense Minister noted.

Katz declared that if the militants do not release the hostages and lay down their arms, “Gaza will be destroyed and turned into a monument to the rapists and murderers of Hamas.”

Israel’s new offensive on Gaza

On the night of September 16, Israel launched an offensive on Gaza, the largest city in the Gaza Strip.

A representative of the Israel Defense Forces said that the country’s troops had been stationed on the outskirts of Gaza for several weeks and began moving toward the city center at night.

Regarding Gaza’s population, Israel claims that a large number of residents have fled the city due to active fighting.

In addition, on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump threatened Hamas with major problems if the militants continue to use hostages as human shields.
