Yashar party chairman Gadi Eisenkot tears into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government after the north was repeatedly targeted by Hezbollah rockets and drones during Shabbat, blaming the attacks on “a lack of leadership.”

“This isn’t a ceasefire, this is a war with one participant,” Eisenkot writes on X. “A responsible government… would immediately authorize the IDF to act forcefully and broadly against Hezbollah in Lebanon — without tying its hands or restrictions!”
