Israeli minister threatens to kill jailed Hamas commander in video
Al Jazeera·IL · PS·3 days ago
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video on X threatening Hassan Salameh, the Hamas operative behind the 1996 Jerusalem bus bombings, saying he is 'responsible for hell.' The threat is rhetorical and follows Ben-Gvir's pattern of inflammatory statements; no operational action is indicated. It signals heightened political rhetoric but no immediate change in security posture.
