Ben-Gvir suggests arresting women and young men in Lebanon

Israel's extremist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has called for escalating measures against Lebanon, proposing the occupation of territory and "the arrest of women and young men," during a meeting of the security cabinet on Monday evening.

According to the Israeli newspaper Maariv, Ben-Gvir presented a series of measures during the meeting, which he said were aimed at responding to Hezbollah attacks.

The newspaper quoted him as saying: "Let's start thinking outside the box about them – occupying territory and killing many militants, and also arresting their women and young men and taking them to terrorist prisons. This is what hurts them the most."
