Israeli media expressed frustration on Wednesday at the lack of a solution in sight regarding the mass evacuation of settlers from northern occupied Palestine due to Hezbollah's ongoing operations.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal in late December 2023, the Resistance operations from Lebanon, which started last October, have led to the fleeing of nearly a quarter-million Israelis from the north.

Israeli Channel 12 criticized the current situation and how it reflects on the image and state of the occupation entity in front of its settlers.

"How is it conceivable that a sovereign state evacuates its citizens for over 5 months without a solution in sight? This is simply an intolerable situation," the outlet reported.

Former Northern Region Commander, Reserve Brigadier General Yair Golan, said that there is a strategic and fundamental question, which is whether "Israel" wants to go to a comprehensive war against Hezbollah or if it wants to keep the northern front calm.

This is a matter related to the capability of the Israeli army because any war with Hezbollah will not be short.

Golan pointed out that if he were the prime minister instead of Benjamin Netanyahu, he would seek calm in the south (Gaza Strip), and naturally, that would lead to calm in the north. But if the northern front remained heated after a calm in Gaza was reached, then it is possible that we engage in a war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

He accused the Israeli government of neglecting the situation on the northern front, especially with regard to the Israelis that fled the area since last October, emphasizing that "Israel" is in a strategically unacceptable position both from a military and social aspect.

Determined to defy 'Israel'

Many political and military analysts in "Israel" have raised concerns regarding going to war on both fronts, criticizing the Israeli government's policy and measures related to the current situation.

Military affairs analyst on the Israeli channel Kan, Roy Sharon, said that "Israel" does not want the situation to deteriorate into a war with Lebanon, adding that as long as Gaza is the primary arena and Lebanon is the secondary one, "Israel" does not want to engage in a comprehensive war on the northern front.

Sharon pointed out that there are six army brigades deployed in Gaza, and if "Israel" were to go to war in Lebanon, it is logical to assume that 3 or 4 brigades out of the 6 would participate in this operation. But as long as the army aims to achieve a "significant list of accomplishments" in Gaza, "Israel" will not want to engage in a comprehensive war in Lebanon, he added.

Earlier on Monday, the Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, affirmed that the Resistance was prepared to counter any expansion in aggression on Lebanon, emphasizing that it is most ready to support Gaza until the Israeli war on the Strip ceases. 

In his speech during the memorial ceremony of three martyrs from the southern Lebanese village of Blida, Sheikh Qassem said Hezbollah is not concerned with any Israeli statement regarding a ground invasion of Lebanon, be it an exaggeration or a declaration. 

He stressed that the Resistance remains defensive, supportive, and determined to defy "Israel", affirming that it will not be intimidated.
