An Israeli lawmaker has called for her nation’s military to deploy nuclear weapons in response to the Hamas terror attacks that have left 1,200 Israelis dead.
Revital ‘Tally’ Gotliv, a member of the right-wing Likud party in the Knesset has called multiple times on her social media accounts for her country to wipe Gaza off the map.
Israel’s military arsenal is extensive, and though it is believed the country has possessed a significant number of nuclear weapons since the 1960s, the small country situated in a hostile area has never officially confirmed its nuclear power.
Since Saturday, when Iran-backed Hamas terrorists brutalized Israeli towns and cities in the south, Israel has declared war on the Palestinian terrorists and begun a counteroffensive that Israeli leaders say will involve significant destruction to Gaza.
In one tweet, Gotliv, who has previously been extremely critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu despite their shared party membership, wrote: ‘Jericho Missile! Jericho Missile! Strategic alert. before considering the introduction of forces. Doomsday weapon! This is my opinion. May God preserve all our strength.’
The message was written and posted in Hebrew and has been translated.

Jericho missiles are a general name given to a family of ballistic missiles that were first developed by Israel in the 1960s.
She encouraged her country’s army to ‘shell Gaza mercilessly!’
‘Only an explosion that shakes the Middle East will restore this country’s dignity, strength and security,’ wrote. ‘I urge you to do everything and use Doomsday weapons fearlessly against our enemies.’
Israel, she declared, ‘must use everything in its arsenal.’
She stressed that the Israeli government must respond quickly as Hamas is currently ‘laughing’ at her country. She wrote that merely ‘flattening’ a Gazan neighborhood would not be enough. The government must ‘crush’ all of Gaza.
Following the terror attacks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately declared a state of war and has since promised ‘mighty vengeance’ on Israel’s attackers that will end in victory for his country.
Israeli Defense Forces have begun bombarding key Hamas sites in the Gaza Strip and issued warnings to civilians in certain regions before a wave of retaliatory attacks began Monday morning.
Early Wednesday morning, another wave of attacks against Gaza began.
Yoav Gallant, the Israeli defense minister, said he has ‘released all restraints’ on the troops in their fight against Hamas.
‘Hamas wanted a change and it will get one. What was in Gaza will no longer be,’ he said, speaking to soldiers near the Gaza fence.
‘We started the offensive from the air, later on we will also come from the ground. We’ve been controlling the area since Day Two and we are on the offensive. It will only intensify.’
Gallant promised to show no mercy to the terrorists.
‘Whoever comes to decapitate, murder women, Holocaust survivors – we will eliminate him at the height of our power and without compromise.’

On Tuesday, speaking publicly about the devastating Hamas attacks that have launched Israel back into war with its hostile neighbor, President Joe Biden said: ‘Let me say again, any country, any organization anyone thinking of taking advantage of the situation, I have one word: don’t.’
He called the October 7 atrocity ‘unadulterated evil’ and said that his administration is reviewing intelligence to see if Iran or its proxies aided the effort. The White House said it cannot currently confirm that Iran helped with the attack.
Hamas continued to fire rockets at Israel from Gaza on Tuesday, while Israel is preparing a potential ground invasion in response to the attacks.
