An Israeli politician has issued an ominous warning and urged the county's leaders to use “Doomsday weapons” against Hamas in Gaza.
Revital Gotliv is a member of Israel's Knesset, representing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party. And after nearly 1,000 Israeli deaths were caused by the group who infiltrated into Israel over the weekend, the politician has called on the country to use ballistic missiles on Gaza.
She posted on Twitter/X: “Jericho Missile! Jericho Missile! Strategic alert. Before considering the introduction of forces. Doomsday weapon! This is my opinion. May God preserve all our strength.”

And she later expanded in a series of posts throughout the day: “I urge you to do everything and use Doomsday weapons fearlessly against our enemies. Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country’s dignity, strength and security! It’s time to kiss doomsday. Shooting powerful missiles without limit. Not flattening a neighbourhood. Crushing and flattening Gaza, without mercy! without mercy!
“Government of Israel. Hamas is laughing at us. They broadcast photographs of the funerals of our martyred soldiers and Hamas laughs, they broadcast Israelis flying abroad and Hamas laughs, they broadcast videos of Israelis saying there is no food and Hamas laughs.

“Hamas is laughing at us! Shell Gaza mercilessly! After the inferno and the destruction of our resilience, the government must immediately order the crushing of Gaza.”
The Jericho missiles she calls for are a family of ballistic missiles Israel created in the 1960s, with the latest iteration being intercontinental ballistic missile known as the Jericho III. It has an official range of around 4,000 miles and can be armed with a nuclear warhead.
