Israel's finance minister vows to 'level' all of Gaza

Israeli forces will flatten Gaza the same way they flatten the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich vowed, according to reports in Al Jazeera on Monday.

“Just as we levelled Rafah, we will level all of Gaza,” Smotrich said in comments reported by the Israeli Army Radio.

 “The army’s operation aims to occupy and cleanse areas in Gaza, and every house we destroy is considered a tunnel in our view.”
