Israeli minister avoids direct answer, laughs as journalist suggests using neutron bomb on Iran https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/403b3a1f-54ad-4e3a-b15b-0e743fc8894c "You're hiding something." Israeli journalist Shimon Riklin raised the possibility of using a neutron bomb against Iran on Channel 14 during a panel that included National Security Minister Itamar Ben‑Gvir. Riklin asked why Israel is not using the bomb, describing it as “a type of atomic bomb that kills populations without damaging buildings. When the discussion turned to reports that Israel had attacked a missile site near the Strait of Hormuz with “unconventional weapons,” one journalist said “I didn’t say that,” before noting, with a smile directed at Ben‑Gvir, “I recognise your smile, Minister Ben‑Gvir, you’re hiding something here.” Ben‑Gvir did not address the specific questions in the clip and instead said, “I’m a member of the inner cabinet, the responsibility on me is immense.” Another commentator on the panel hinted that unconventional weapons may already have been used, and parts of the exchange were accompanied by laughter.
