Israel vows 'hurricane' of strikes on Gaza to force Hamas to accept surrender demand
- On September 8, 2025, Israel announced it would intensify airstrikes over Gaza City as a final warning to Hamas, describing the assault as a "mighty hurricane."
- This escalation follows Hamas's October 2023 attack on southern Israel that killed about 1,200 people and triggered Israel's major offensive on Gaza City last month.
- Israel demands Hamas free all remaining hostages, totaling 48 living and dead, while Hamas insists on a clear war end and troop withdrawal before releasing them and continues to hold some hostages as leverage.
- US President Donald Trump warned Hamas this ceasefire proposal is their "last chance," and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared Gaza would be destroyed if Hamas does not surrender and free hostages.
- The continued hostilities have devastated Gaza, killing over 64,000 Palestinians and displacing hundreds of thousands amid mounting international calls for ceasefire and negotiations.
