Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has called for ending the ceasefire in Lebanon after four Israeli troops were wounded in the country’s south, Anadolu reports.
“There are soldiers who have been injured. We can strike and bomb hundreds of targets,” Ben-Gvir says, referring to a Thursday incident in which four Israeli soldiers were wounded in southern Lebanon, according to a report by Yedioth Ahronoth.
During a security cabinet meeting on Thursday, the extremist minister described the incident as “an opportunity for the agreement to collapse.”
Although his position did not appear to gain support during the meeting, other ministers reportedly voiced frustration over operational restrictions imposed on Israeli forces under the ceasefire arrangements in Lebanon.
