Since that call, Israel has resigned itself to retaliatory strikes in response to daily Hezbollah missile, mortar and drone attacks.

The Prime Minister's Office in response to the Wall Street Journal report:
"The article is incorrect. Already on the first day of the war, Prime Minister Netanyahu decided that Israel would first act to achieve decisive victory in the south, while deterring an attack in the north. This policy was adopted by the Cabinet."

The Ahwaz Liberal Party is an Arab separatist movement opposed to the regime of the ayatollahs.

"Israel crushed its enemies and returned them to the Stone Age, a fact that cannot be disputed. The axis of criminals (meaning the Iranian axis) has come to an end thanks to the bravery of the Israeli soldiers, and with God's help this will not be reversed."

There is fierce criticism within Netanyahu's coalition, and even within his own Likud party, that the government is bowing to American pressure and thus putting the lives of Israeli soldiers at greater risk.
14 soldiers were killed in combat in the Gaza Strip over the weekend. This is the largest 2-day toll since the start of the ground war.
And it coincides with a reduction in aerial and artillery bombardment of targets in Gaza.
The reduced bombing is seen as a response to pressure from the Biden administration for Israel to stop leveling buildings in Gaza and to move a more "low-intensity" level of combat.
But sending soldiers on isolated raids into standing urban areas is far more deadly.
Relatively few Israeli soldiers died in the invasion of northern Gaza because the Air Force leveled most of the neighborhoods before the ground forces arrived. There were very few places for Hamas terrorists to hide.
