Kathmandu, Oct. 17 -- President Donald Trump warned on Thursday that Hamas would be "killed" if the factional violence in Gaza continued. However, he later clarified that U.S. troops would not be deployed to the region, according to the Associated Press.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said other forces "very close" to Gaza would handle the situation "under our auspices," without naming any specific country. His remarks came after a weeklong ceasefire and hostage exchange between Israel and Hamas appeared to unravel due to renewed infighting, the AP reported.
