Israeli opposition leader Benny Gantz has called for a decisive and extensive response following a deadly rocket attack on northern Israel. Gantz attributed the attack to Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy, and highlighted the murder of innocent children on a football field in the Golan Heights. He emphasized the need for a 'full strategic plan of action' and suggested that the response could involve 'hitting Lebanon hard and tearing it apart.' Gantz's statements have garnered wide support from outside the government for any determined and effective response.
