Metulla Mayor David Azoulay expressed that his settlement on the northern border has been neglected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration.

“Just yesterday, three houses were damaged and an entire street of yards was burned,” he told Israeli Army Radio “Forty percent of residents’ houses have been damaged, almost 200 houses were burned in the last eight months.”

“The Israeli government has disappeared, the prime minister is probably busy with other things,” he sarcastically added.

Israeli settlers enraged, say Hezbollah imposing diktats in North

The pace of events on the northern front along the border with Lebanon has dramatically decreased in the last days, Israeli Channel 13's military affairs correspondent, Or Heller, said last week, pointing out that Israeli settlers in northern occupied Palestine are very angry as the calm indicates that Hezbollah imposes its diktats on the status quo.

Shimon Kamri, former deputy mayor of Kiryat Shmona, sarcastically thanked "the Prime Minister of the North," referring to Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, for two days of calm on the northern front.

Kamri noted that the western part of Kiryat Shmona is entirely burned, indicating that the North is in crisis amid an absence of the Israeli government, ministers, Knesset members, or the Prime Minister.

Israeli media reported that 76,500 dunums of land suitable for cows' pasture in northern occupied Palestine were set ablaze by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon since the border confrontations between the Lebanese Resistance in Lebanon and "Israel" began.

During a tour in Kiryat Shmona, Benny Gantz, who quit the Israeli War Cabinet, indicated that the situation in the North should be resolved through either an agreement or escalation.

He stressed that all settlers "must be back by September 1, so we do not lose another year [of fighting] in the North."
