Israel's far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has called for nightly killings of Palestinians in Gaza, Al Jazeera English reported. The remarks from one of the country's most senior officials represent a sharp escalation in public statements regarding military operations in the besieged territory.
Ben-Gvir, who oversees the national security portfolio in the Israeli government, made the statement as fighting continues to reshape the Gaza Strip. His call for systematic nightly operations marks a significant hardening of language from a minister with direct authority over security matters. The comments underscore deepening divisions within Israeli leadership over the scope and conduct of operations in the territory.
