Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir says “all of Lebanon must burn” following the deaths of four Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon, according to multiple outlets. Ben Gvir makes the remarks in a social media post, framing them as a response to what he characterizes as costs to Israeli families and concerns about Israeli security. In his post, he also criticizes what he calls “measured” approaches in the region, arguing that responses should not rely on containment or limited tactics. He urges moving beyond restraint and refers to the need for stronger action against terrorism. The statement draws reactions from regional officials, including Iran’s foreign minister, who condemns Israeli leadership and describes it as a threat to humanity. The reporting attributes the immediate trigger to an Israeli military announcement about the four soldiers’ deaths, and it links Ben Gvir’s language to calls for escalation in the context of ongoing tensions between Israel and Lebanon.
