It is a tense calm that has once again been broken by a rocket barrage at Manara and Margaliot. The responsibility to remove the missile threat and restore security to northern residents lies solely with the Israeli government. Residents of the north deserve to return to true routine and safe lives until the threat is removed &#8211; however long it takes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-fb708951=\"\" data-v-71e662ef-s=\"\">Mateh Asher Regional Council head and Confrontation Line Forum chairman Moshe Davidovich said in response to the ongoing fire: &#8220;What is happening here is not a ceasefire &#8211; it may be unceasing fire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-fb708951=\"\" data-v-71e662ef-s=\"\">Metula Council head David Azoulay criticized the government, saying, &#8220;Shabbat, midday, the birds are chirping &#8211; and again there are sirens. Again a so-called \u2018ceasefire,\u2019 and the screen reads: \u2018rocket and missile fire, Misgav Am, Manara, Margaliot.\u2019 The fire is clearly heard throughout the area. Soon the Home Front Command will issue a statement that it was a false alarm, then the IDF spokesperson will correct it to \u2018fire toward forces in Lebanon,\u2019 and the Prime Minister is busy with how the American economy will grow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-fb708951=\"\" data-v-71e662ef-s=\"\">Azoulay added: &#8220;We\u2019re not really of interest to him. Abandonment, we said? American interests at the expense of Israeli citizens. That\u2019s what happens when you get a \u2018bear hug.\u2019 Oh and by the way, regardless of what the military or political leadership says, there was one impact in an open area and several interceptions. By miracle, once again there were no casualties. But even if there had been, it probably wouldn\u2019t interest those who are supposed to provide us with security. Until \u2018total victory,\u2019 the question is whose [victory it will be].&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amid Hezbollah&#8217;s continued ceasefire violations and rocket fire toward the Galilee, the leaders of several communities in northern&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":753061,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[218365,4783,99,309014,50,33882,267659],"class_list":["post-753060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-galilee","tag-hezbollah","tag-israel","tag-metula","tag-news","tag-northern-arrows","tag-roaring-lion"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116467638813549063","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=753060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/753061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=753060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=753060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=753060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
