Gaza 'Is Burning,' Israeli Defense Minister Says

“ Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday Gaza "is burning" as Israeli forces were "striking with an iron fist," apparently at the launch of a long-anticipated offensive to seize Gaza City. "Gaza is burning. The IDF is striking with an iron fist at the terror infrastructure, and IDF soldiers are fighting bravely to create the conditions for the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas," Katz said in a post on X, originally in Hebrew, referring to the Israel Defense Forces.“
