Israel's Ben Gvir takes part in raid against Palestinian 'crime families' in Israel

Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said his country's police are "going to war" against "criminal organisations" in Palestinian communities in Israel.

The minister says the move comes after "decades of turning a blind eye".

Ben Gvir added that he took part in overnight raids against "crime families" in communities including in the city of Lod.
