Israeli soldiers are being unduly restricted in Lebanon due to the ceasefire agreement<\/a>, ministers complained during a cabinet meeting on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“You wanted a ceasefire,” IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir responded.<\/p>\n

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir<\/a> objected, saying that he did not want a ceasefire “exactly for this reason.”<\/p>\n

“What happens with an emerging threat? If you see Hezbollah arming itself, why don’t you dismantle them?” he wondered.<\/p>\n

Ben-Gvir also called for the ceasefire to collapse, and said that, after several IDF soldiers were wounded by a Hezbollah grenade, “we can hit hundreds of targets and bomb them.”<\/p>\n

National Missions Minister Orit Strock<\/a> agreed with Ben-Gvir on the ceasefire, saying that IDF forces in Lebanon “feel like they’re in a firing range.”<\/p>\n

“It’s better if they respond to every threat immediately,” she said.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> emphasized that the soldiers do respond to every immediate threat.<\/p>\n

“We don’t limit any soldier,” he explained, with Defense Minister Israel Katz agreeing.<\/p>\n

“There are pros and cons to the ceasefire, but we don’t endanger any soldier,” Katz stated. “Every soldier can respond immediately.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Israeli soldiers are being unduly restricted in Lebanon due to the ceasefire agreement, ministers complained during a cabinet…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":511957,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[49,2464,42,86,956,2723,837,88,43,73877,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-511956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-eyal-zamir","tag-headlines","tag-hezbollah","tag-idf-soldiers","tag-israel-katz","tag-itamar-ben-gvir","tag-lebanon","tag-news","tag-orit-strock","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
