The head of the Mateh Asher Regional Council and chairman of the Confrontation Line Forum, Moshe Davidovich, said "I trust the IDF to continue operating to protect the residents of the confrontation line." He added: "After a year and a half of war in the north, when many families have returned to their homes, our responsibility is to ensure they feel safe. The IDF's initiated operations are designed to remove the threat and restore the sense of security. The goal is clear: to grow the north, restore life and routine, and ensure that every citizen knows we are doing everything to protect them."
