Israeli minister: nuking Gaza a possibility 

An Israeli cabinet minister has sparked a controversy after floating the idea of using nuclear weapons against the Gaza Strip.

Israel’s heritage minister Amichai Eliyahu made the suggestion in an interview with an Israeli radio channel.

Israel does not publically acknowledge its nuclear arsenal and does not allow international inspection of its nuclear facilities. However, the regime is believed to possess some 400 nuclear warheads.
