Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, calls for a return to “intensive” fighting in Lebanon, despite a ceasefire aimed at halting hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, AFP reports.

“It is time for the prime minister to take a firm stand with Donald Trump and tell him that Israel is returning to war in Lebanon,” Ben Gvir says on X.

“Electricity to Lebanon must be cut off, the Zahrani must be seized, and intensive warfare resumed,” he adds, referring to a river in southern Lebanon which runs further north than current Israeli ground operations.
