Israeli media reported that National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir stated that the time is right to begin a battle against "Hezbollah." The Israeli minister, speaking from the site of the missile landing in Katzrin - Qasrin in the Syrian Golan, said: "Katzrin is like Tel Aviv... There is no talking to Hezbollah, just directing the cannons. One of the reasons I demanded to enter the security cabinet is what is happening here."
Ben Gvir called for a wide-ranging battle against "Hezbollah." He concluded: "One of the reasons I strongly demand to enter the security cabinet is what is happening here now. We must attack and open up a battle. This is the opportunity, and we must not miss it."
