New footage reveals Ben Gvir's warnings days before October 7
Newly released footage shows Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir visiting the border community of Nahal Oz on October 4, 2023, just three days before the Hamas-led massacre. During the visit, Ben Gvir warned security coordinators about the growing threat from Hamas and criticized the government's containment policies. The video highlights a pre-war debate regarding Israel's military strategy against threats along the Gaza border. Ben Gvir argued that proactive confrontation was necessary to prevent a larger future conflict, while opposing non-lethal responses to fence breaches.
