Israel promises to “hurricane” of strikes in Gaza to force Hamas to surrender, to accept Trump’s agreement

Israel said that it would increase air strikes in Gaza on Monday in a “powerful hurricane”, to serve as a last warning to Hamas that it will destroy the enclave unless the fighters accept a request from US President Donald Trump to release all hostages and surrender.

Residents said Israeli forces have bombed Gaza City from the air and have exploded armored vehicles in its streets. Hamas said he was studying the last American cease-fire proposal, delivered on Sunday with a Trump warning that it was the “last chance” of the militant group.

“A powerful hurricane will hit the sky of Gaza City today, and the roofs of terrorist towers will shake,” wrote Israel Israel Katz’s Israeli Minister of Defense on X.

“This is a last warning to the murderers and rapists of Hamas in Gaza and in luxury hotels abroad: release the hostages and deposit your weapons-or Gaza will be destroyed, and you will be annihilated,” he wrote.

The Katz position appeared before information reporting a shooting during a bus stop in Jerusalem which killed five people. Hamas praised the attackers.

According to a senior Israeli official, the last American proposal for Gaza calls on Hamas to make the 48 living hostages remaining on the first day of a ceasefire, during which negotiations are held to end the war.

Hamas has long declared that it intended to keep at least certain hostages until the end of the negotiations. He said in a statement that he was determined to publish all hostages with a “clear announcement of the end of the war” and the withdrawal of the Israeli Gaza forces.

Israel launched a major assault last month on Gaza City, where hundreds of thousands of residents live in ruins being returned after the most intense fights of the first weeks of the war almost two years ago.

The residents of Gaza City said that Israeli forces had crossed several air and soil districts, and exploded unclosed armored vehicles loaded with explosives, destroying clusters of houses in the Sheikh Radwan, Zeitoun and Tuffah districts.

At least 12 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, Osama Balousha, journalist from the Palestinian media on Monday, said doctors.

Nearly 250 journalists were killed in Gaza during the war, according to the Palestinian authorities, which makes the world’s deadliest war for the information media in living memory from far. Israel prohibits all foreign journalists from Gaza, so that all journalists have been killed there. Palestinian officials say that Israel has deliberately targeted certain journalists, which Israel denies.

The soldiers of Israel calls the super target residential buildings, chosen because they say that they house Hamas infrastructure, that Hamas denies, and because they are large enough to send an undoubted message to civilians: go out, before the operation is developing.

On Sunday, US President Donald Trump suggested that a Gaza agreement could soon come to obtain the release of all the hostages held by Hamas. Earlier, he published what he called his “last warning” to the Palestinian militant group.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel, Gideon Sa’ar, speaking at a press conference with his Hungarian counterpart in Budapest, said that Israel had accepted a proposal for the ceasefire of Gaza of the American president Donald Trump.

The war began with an assault by fighters led by Hamas in southern Israel in 2023. The attackers killed 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostages in Gaza. Most hostages were published in ceasements in November 2023 and January-March 2025, but the group has retained others as a negotiation currency in negotiations.

The attack on Israel has reduced a large part of the enclave to the rubble and caused a humanitarian disaster. Nearly 63,000 Palestinians were confirmed, according to health officials in the enclave.

Six other Palestinians, including two children, died of malnutrition and famine in Gaza in the past 24 hours, the Ministry of Health of the territory announced on Monday, increasing the deaths of such causes to at least 393 people, most of them in the past two months.

Israel, who controls all the supplies in Gaza, says that the extent of hunger has been exaggerated there and that the reported deaths are due to other causes.

Throughout the conflict, the efforts to negotiate the end of the war failed on the state of Israel that Hamas releases all the hostages and goes. Hamas says that it will not lay down his weapons until the Palestinians have an independent state.
