A social media video described by the source as showing the reality of Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir's governance in the Negev depicts continuous gunfire from Rahat and children fleeing. The clip, circulated Wednesday evening and attributed to a political commentator, underscores the persistence of lawlessness in the region despite a government enforcement campaign launched earlier this year. The footage does not specify when it was recorded, and the Zioneer has not independently verified its authenticity or exact location.
