"The north is burning, and with it is the Israeli Deterrence Force, and this is a Government without a strategy." – Yair Lapid, Israeli Politician and current Leader of Opposition.
"The fires in northern Israel are evidence of bankruptcy and the continuation of the containment policy, and it is time for Lebanon to burn." – Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israeli Minister of National Security.
