Israeli Defense Minister warns Gaza would be evacuated if soldier or citizen kidnapped

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stark warning regarding threats "from Iran to Erdogan," stating that if one Israeli soldier or citizen is kidnapped, Gaza City would be evacuated of its million residents southward. "It will be treated the same way Rafah and Beit Hanoun and 70% of Gaza's territory were treated, until he is returned," Katz said, referencing operations during the current conflict.
