Gaza Herald – Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz declared Tuesday that Gaza is “burning” and promised that Israel “will not retreat,” glorifying the relentless bombardment of the besieged city.
His comments come as Israeli forces continue to conduct indiscriminate airstrikes and artillery attacks, flattening neighborhoods, targeting hospitals, schools, and shelters, and leaving thousands dead, wounded, and displaced.
The statement lays bare the brutal reality that Israel’s military is not merely targeting Gaza. Still, it is openly waging a campaign of mass killing, celebrating civilian killed while the humanitarian crisis spirals beyond control.
Katz framed the ongoing slaughter as a mission to “strike terrorist infrastructure with an iron fist” and “create conditions for the release of prisoners and defeat Hamas,” even as families remain trapped under rubble, without water, electricity, or medical care. Gaza is left to endure systematic destruction, starvation, and total humanitarian collapse.
