    Israeli far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Friday
    called for applying the destructive military approach used in GazaAs
    Beit Hanoun to Palestinian cities and villages in the occupied West
    Bank, Anadolu reports.

    The cities and villages of Palestinians who carry out attacks against
    Israelis in the West Bank should be treated oas Beit Hanoun in Gaza
    was treated,o Ben-Gvir said in a post on the US social media platform
    X.

    oI will demand that the Israeli army issue orders to destroy the
    homeso of Palestinians involved in such incidents and their
    supporters, the extremist minister said.

    oFor every Jew killed, the enemy must bear the loss of land and
    homes,o Ben-Gvir added.

    The statement came after a security incident earlier Friday in which
    four Palestinians were killed in an attack by Israeli forces and
    occupiers in the town of Tell, southwest of Nablus in the northern
    occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

    Israeli media reported that one occupier was killed and three others
    injured in a shooting near the illegal Havat Gilad settlement.

    In a statement Friday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said 86
    Palestinians had been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces and
    occupiers since the beginning of 2026, including 21 killed by
    occupiers.

    The occupied West Bank has witnessed an escalation in Israeli raids
    and arrests since the start of the genocidal war in Gaza in October
    2023. Attacks by the Israeli army and occupiers have killed 1,182
    Palestinians and led to the arrest of around 24,000, according to
    official figures.

    It has gotten to the point where calling an Israeli a "Nazi" is an understatement
