In a statement, Katz said that if the hostages held in Gaza are not released and Hamas is expelled from Gaza, "Israel will act with an intensity they have not seen before."
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had returned to what was left of their homes, and Israeli forces had withdrawn to a buffer zone during the ceasefire in Gaza, which began at the end of January.
