Ben Gvir proposes detaining Lebanese women and youths to pressure Hezbollah

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir floated detaining Lebanese women and youths to pressure Hezbollah at a security cabinet meeting, part of broader calls to widen operations in Lebanon. The comments come amid ongoing use of the unlawful combatant law that allows detention without charges, a point of international criticism, as the cross-border conflict persists with mass displacement (about 1.2 million in Lebanon) and thousands of casualties on both sides.
