Former IDF Chief of Staff and Knesset member Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the 'Yashar!' party, visited the northern border, where he said that 'if the government does not allow the IDF full freedom of operation in Lebanon, it will be a cause for generational regret. The use of force must lead to the demilitarization of southern Lebanon, the disarmament of Hezbollah and long-term security for the residents of the North.'
