Katz released a video statement on Wednesday.
He warned that the Israeli military would soon operate forcefully in additional areas of Gaza, and that the plans had already been prepared and approved.
He demanded that residents of Gaza raise their voices against the Islamic group.
The Israeli military resumed its offensive on March 18 amid stalled ceasefire talks.
Gaza's health authorities said on Wednesday that 830 people have been killed since then.
On Thursday, Israeli forces launched attacks across various parts of Gaza from the early hours.
Hamas announced that its spokesperson was killed in the city of Jabalia, northern Gaza.
The Reuters news agency quoted informed sources as saying 11 of the 20 members of the Hamas political office, which is the group's decision-making body, have been killed since the start of the war in late 2023.
