In full: IDF quizzed over claim Israel would turn Beirut's southern suburbs into another Gaza

The IDF has refused to deny suggestions from an Israeli minister that Beirut’s southern suburbs could be turned into another Gaza.

The far-right minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said the Dahiyeh area would soon look “like Khan Younis”, a city in southern Gaza.

The southern suburbs are controlled by the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, and has been subject to heavy bombing by the Israeli military.
