Zionist regime ‘to act with a force never seen before’
“For Gazans, this is the latest warning … The air force attacks on Hamas were only the first step. What comes next will be much harder, and you will have to pay the price in full. The evacuation of the population from the war zones will soon begin again. If all kidnapped ‘Israelis’ are not released and Hamas is not forced out of the Gaza Strip, ‘Israel’ will act with a force you have never seen before,” Katz said in a direct address to the people of Gaza on March 19.
The statement signals a further escalation in the occupation’s brutal onslaught in the Gaza Strip, which has already killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and displaced the overwhelming majority of the enclave’s residents.
Katz also urged Gazans to follow the advice of former US President Donald Trump, claiming that compliance with Zionist demands could lead to alternative “options” for them, including the forced displacement from Gaza permanently.
“Return the kidnapped and get rid of Hamas, then other options will open up for you, including passage to other parts of the world. The alternative is total destruction and devastation,” he added.
His remarks reinforce growing concerns over the regime’s plans to depopulate Gaza through systematic forced displacement, a policy widely condemned as a violation of international law.
Zionist settler killed in Resistance operation
A settler was killed and several others were injured in a combined ramming, stabbing, and shooting operation in the Yokneam Illit area, east of Haifa, Israeli media reported on Monday.
According to the regime’s Magen David Adom ambulance service, the person who carried out the operation was shot and killed at the scene.
Reports indicate that the person who carried out the operation initially drove his vehicle into a group of settlers waiting at a bus stop at Tishbi Junction before exiting the car and opening fire, injuring multiple Zionists.
Zionist channel Kan said the Palestinian who carried out the attack was from the 1948 occupied territories.
Video footage showed the moment of the operation.
Meanwhile, occupation forces continue their assaults on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank amid the genocidal war they are waging in Gaza.
Palestinian Resistance factions exalted the martyr Karam Jabarin and congratulated the qualitative operation.
Popular Resistance Committees:
The Haifa operation exposes the fragility and weakness of the security system within the zionist entity and reveals the falsehood of the slogans repeated by the pillars of the fascist zionist government.
We exalt the martyr fighter Karam Jabarin, the executor of the heroic operation in Haifa, and call upon all our people in the occupied lands of 1948, Al-Quds, and the West Bank to follow his example and strike the zionist enemy—soldiers and settlers alike—wherever they are on our occupied Palestinian land, in retaliation for the innocent blood spilled in Gaza at the hands of the criminal killers in the zionist government, backed by the American administration.
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine praises the heroic Haifa operation, considering it a legitimate response to the occupation’s massacres and a clear message that our people are united and that resistance continues.
Mujahideen Movement:
This high-quality operation confirms the failure of all attempts to end the resistance and its choice in the West Bank and reflects the deep-rooted nature of resistance in the hearts of our people and its free sons.
This operation delivers a new security slap to the enemy’s security and intelligence apparatus and reaffirms that there is no safety for zionists anywhere their feet desecrate in Palestine.
This operation once again confirms the resistance’s ability to break the enemy’s prestige, cause it pain, and respond to its crimes, aggression, and malicious schemes aimed at eliminating the resistance, isolating our people, and expelling them from their land in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad:
We bless the heroic operation carried out by one of our people from the occupied interior near the city of Haifa, which resulted in several injuries among the usurping settlers.
This operation and others like it are a natural response to the occupation’s ongoing crimes against our people, the genocide it wages against their existence, and its oppression and criminality against our people across all of Palestine.
Hamas:
This operation, along with previous high-quality operations deep within the usurping zionist entity, reaffirms the resistance’s ability to break the enemy’s prestige, cause it pain, and respond to its crimes, aggression, and malicious plans aimed at eliminating the resistance, isolating our people, and expelling them from their land in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds, in addition to its continuous criminal practices against our free prisoners.
These heroic operations represent the natural choice and appropriate response to the continued massacres, policies of siege, terror, and oppression, and attempts at displacement, particularly from the West Bank refugee camps, foremost among them Jenin and Tulkarem.
We call for escalating painful heroic operations in the heart of the occupied entity and at all points of its presence in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the occupied interior. We also call for the unity of our people and their rallying behind the choice of resistance until the occupation is expelled.
