*Defense Minister Israel Katz:*
The number 4 commander of Hamas’s military wing in Gaza was eliminated yesterday and sent to meet his partners in the depths of hell.
On behalf of the Prime Minister and myself, congratulations to the IDF and the Shin Bet for the brilliant operation.
We promised to eliminate all those who led the massacre of October 7, and so we shall: they are all marked for death wherever they are.
We promised that Hamas would not rule Gaza, neither civilly nor militarily — and so it will be. The voluntary emigration plan from Gaza will also be implemented, all in the right timing and manner.
