At scene of attack, Ben Gvir calls for targeted killings and to ‘bring down buildings’
Far-right Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to launch a major military campaign in the West Bank.
“The time has come to launch a military campaign in Judea and Samaria,” he says at the scene of the deadly attack outside the Eli settlement, referring to the West Bank by its Biblical names.
“Yes, we need a return to targetted killings from the air, bring down buildings, set up roadblocks, expel terrorists, and finish passing the death penalty for terrorists legislation,” he says.
