National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said Friday morning that he is en route to the security cabinet meeting after a terror attack, and will demand that the IDF use airstrikes and D9 bulldozers to destroy homes of terrorists and their supporters in Judea and Samaria. 'For every Jew murdered, the enemy must suffer loss of land and homes,' he said, citing the operation in Gaza's Beit Hanoun as the precedent.
The statement, posted at 10:11, follows an earlier report by The Zioneer at 09:55 that summarized the minister's remarks. Ben Gvir's direct quote and confirmation that he is en route to the limited cabinet meeting provide additional detail. The minister's demand for a Gaza-style approach against terrorist infrastructure in Judea and Samaria reflects a significant escalation in rhetoric. It remains unclear whether the cabinet will adopt the proposal.
