The head of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, stated that "the ten million promised by the government as compensation for the damages incurred by citizens and property in the South due to the exchange of missile and artillery fire between Hezbollah and Israel should be paid by the ministers who voted for this decision from their own pockets, as the majority, and a large majority of the Lebanese people did not authorize anyone to launch missiles from Lebanon at Israel to preserve their regional role." He pointed out in a statement that "what is happening in the South through the exchange of shelling is not support for Gaza at all, and the greatest evidence is that the aggression against Gaza has continued and is still ongoing. Can destruction be inflicted on Gaza more than what has already happened? Therefore, what role was played by the launch of missiles and shells from Lebanon? The answer is that the role of these shells and missiles is merely to keep Hezbollah and Iran in the equation of the Arab-Israeli conflict."
