Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has said that once the humanitarian pause ends in Gaza, the army will resume its military operation throughout the entire enclave with greater strength, TRT World reports.

“You now have a few days. We will return to fighting. We will use the same amount of power and more,” Gallant said while meeting with Israeli troops, according to the Times of Israel news website.

“We will fight in the entire Strip,” he added.

“Remember that while you are organising and resting and investigating, the enemy is also doing the same,” he said, referring to the Palestinian group Hamas.
