    'Human Atrocity': Trump Warns Hamas Against Using Hostages As Shields Amid Israel Offensive

    US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Hamas over reports that the group has moved hostages above ground to use them as human shields against Israel’s ground offensive.
    In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump described the alleged use of hostages as a “human atrocity” and called for the immediate release of all hostages.
    He also said he hoped that the leaders of Hamas were aware of what they were getting into.
    “I have just read a News Report that Hamas has moved the hostages above ground to use them as human shields against Israel’s ground offensive,” Trump wrote.
    “I hope the Leaders of Hamas know what they’re getting into if they do such a thing. This is a human atrocity, the likes of which few people have ever seen before,” he mentioned.
    “Don’t let this happen or, ALL ‘BETS’ ARE OFF. RELEASE ALL HOSTAGES NOW!” the US President added.

    Hours before, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he did not rule out further strikes on Hamas leaders “wherever they are”, as the heads of Arab and Islamic states held a summit to back Qatar after Israel’s attack last week in the Gulf state.
    The September 9 strike targeting leaders of Hamas in Doha was a significant escalation of Israeli military action in a region shaken by conflict since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks that ignited the Gaza war.
    Hamas has said the Israeli strike killed five of its members, including a son of its exiled Gaza chief, but its leadership survived.
    Qatar said one of its security agents also died.
    In the latest, Israeli forces continued their assault on Gaza City, where they killed at least 16 Palestinians in strikes on two homes and on a tent housing a displaced family, Reuters quoted local health authorities as saying.

    The army also hit and destroyed a 16-floor building in the west of the city, believed to be the tallest in Gaza, about an hour after warning displaced families sheltering inside and nearby to leave.
    It said the building was being used to hide “terrorist infrastructure.”
    The war in Gaza was triggered by a rampage into southern Israel by Hamas militants who killed around 1,200 people and captured 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
    Israel responded with an assault that has killed more than 64,000 people, according to Palestinian health authorities.
