Minister Katz: 'Anyone who infiltrates the buffer zone in Gaza takes his life into is own hands'

Minister of Defense Israel Katz commented on reports of Hamas members entering the security zone along the Gaza border:

"The instruction to the IDF is clear and unequivocal: Anyone who infiltrates the buffer zone in Gaza, whether on foot or by vehicle - takes his life into his own hands - and that's exactly how the IDF must act.

"We are obligated to protect the IDF soldiers and the residents and communities of southern Israel from every threat and danger, and we will not compromise on security. We will not return to the pre-October 7th reality."
