Israel threatens to destroy Gaza City in a ‘mighty hurricane’ of strikes: ‘This is a final warning

Emily Crane / NEW YORK POST

 

Israel ominously vowed to destroy Gaza City in a “mighty hurricane” of strikes Monday, calling it a “final warning to the murderers and rapists of Hamas.”

“A mighty hurricane will hit the skies of Gaza City today, and the roofs of the terror towers will shake,” Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote on X.

“This is a final warning to the murderers and rapists of Hamas in Gaza and in the luxury hotels abroad: Release the hostages and lay down your weapons – or Gaza will be destroyed, and you will be annihilated.”

“The IDF is continuing with its plans — and we are preparing to expand the maneuver to defeat Gaza,” he added.

The threat came after President Trump fired off his own “last warning” to the militant group on Sunday — urging them to accept his terms for a cease-fire.

“The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well,” Trump said on Truth Social.“ I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one!”

At least five people were killed and more than a dozen were injured after a pair of attackers opened fire on a bus in Jerusalem Monday morning, paramedics said. 

The shooting unfolded at a busy intersection in northern Jerusalem, on a road that leads to Jewish settlements located in east Jerusalem. Israeli media reported that the two attackers boarded a bus and opened fire. Paramedics said 15 other people were injured and six are in serious condition.

Police said two attackers were "neutralized" soon after the shooting began but have not released additional information about the attackers’ identities.

Hamas released a statement praising "resistance fighters" who carried out the attack, but the group did not explicitly claim credit for the shooting. Islamic Jihad, another Palestinian militant group, also praised the shooting but did not claim responsibility for it.

The ambulance service identified the five victims as a 50-year-old man, a woman in her fifties and three men in their thirties. It said 11 other people had suffered injuries, including six who were in a serious condition with gunshot wounds.Read more, see photos and video here.
