Itamar Ben Gvir says police will 'thrash' children who throw stones

Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir has said police will “thrash” Palestinian children who throw stones at Israeli security officials.

“If a minor throws a stone, he needs to be dealt with harshly. A stone is a stone; stones kill,” the national security minister told reporters.

“Even a minor, if he throws a stone, they will thrash him."
