Ben Gvir’s demand comes after Israel accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire brokered earlier this month
Israel’s National Security Minister Ben Gvir has called for the resumption of military operations in Gaza following alleged violations by Hamas of the ceasefire reached earlier this month.
According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), militants fired an anti-tank missile and shot at Israeli troops operating in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday. Israel responded with several airstrikes on what it called terror targets.
“I call on the prime minister to order the IDF to renew full-scale fighting in the Strip at full strength,” Gvir said in a statement on Sunday. “The false belief that Hamas will change its ways, or will even abide by the agreement it signed, is proving…to be dangerous to our security. This Nazi terrorist organization must be destroyed completely and the sooner the better.”
Israel and Hamas agreed to a tentative ceasefire in early October under US President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan.
