Jerusalem, October 16 (Xinhua) — Israel intends to resume military operations in the Gaza Strip unless Hamas demilitarizes and returns the bodies of all hostages it is holding, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Wednesday.
"If Hamas refuses to implement the agreement [on a peace settlement in Gaza], Israel, in coordination with the United States, will return to military action to achieve the complete defeat of Hamas, change the reality in Gaza, and achieve all the goals of the war," the statement said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Isaac Katz ordered the army to prepare a "comprehensive plan to defeat Hamas" in case fighting in Gaza resumes.
According to US President Donald Trump's peace plan, Hamas must return the remains of all hostages it holds and disarm, noted I. Katz. Israel, together with US-led international forces, "will work to destroy all tunnels and terrorist infrastructure in Gaza to ensure the demilitarization of Gaza and eliminate any threat to the State of Israel," the defense minister added.
