President Donald Trump sent a strong message to Hamas on Thursday, threatening to “go in and kill” Hamas militants if the group continues attacks in Gaza.
“If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,” Trump wrote in a fiery Truth Social post. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The move comes after Hamas was seen on video publicly executing opponents in Gaza City’s main square, despite Trump’s peace plan.
AFTER TRUMP DECLARES ‘WAR IS OVER,’ HAMAS EXECUTES RIVALS IN GAZA TO REASSERT CONTROL
Gazans previously told Fox News Digital Hamas fighters were reappearing in the streets and reasserting control, having issued an ultimatum giving Israeli collaborators until Sunday to surrender and seek amnesty.
Hamas has also failed to uphold its commitment to return all deceased hostages to Israel, with families describing the days left waiting as “torturous.”

On Thurday’s “Fox & Friends,” Orna Neutra, mother of Israel Defense Forces Capt. Omer Neutra, said it is “devastating” to wait for her son’s body each day.
“We came here on Sunday, prepared to receive him on Monday and, as the day went by and only four hostages were released, and our son wasn’t among them, it was devastating,” Orna said.
Omer, a fallen platoon commander, is one of two American citizens whose remains have yet to be returned by Hamas as part of the initial phase of the peace agreement.

Orna said the terror group continues to torment families by withholding any word on future releases.
“We spend sleepless nights waiting, since those who return to Israel usually arrive after midnight and aren’t identified until early morning,” she said. “Each time, we wait and hope — only to learn he’s still not among them, and now Hamas says no one else can be freed.”
All remaining living hostages were returned to the Jewish state over the weekend.
