‘All of Lebanon Must Burn’: Israeli Minister Amid Lebanon Strikes Day After Trump Signs Iran Deal

The strikes killed at least 18 people as Ben-Gvir urged Israel to ignore U.S. criticism and keep attacking Hezbollah.

  • On Friday, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir declared "all of Lebanon must burn" after the Israel Defense Forces reported four soldiers were killed in southern Lebanon.
  • The Israel Defense Forces confirmed four soldiers died "in combat" near Kfar Tebnit when their tank was hit, while overnight strikes across southern Lebanon killed at least 18 people.
  • President Donald Trump and Vice President Vance rebuked Israel for violating the US-Iran deal, yet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to remain in Lebanon despite American pressure.
  • Ben-Gvir's support remains critical to Netanyahu's government, even as Netanyahu previously criticized the minister's behavior as "not in line with Israel's values and norms."
  • The Israel Defense Forces identified 32-year-old Lt. Dor Gedalia Ben Simhon, commander of the 52nd Battalion of the 401st Armored Brigade, as one soldier killed, fueling calls for escalation.
