The army told municipal leaders that heavy fire might occur. However, it did not inform the residents. It also did not change the instructions for residents until shortly before the barrage began. The gap between the rumors and the official announcements created confusion. The IDF said there was deliberation on how to convey the information. They said they would handle it better in the future.
The Defense Minister, Israel Katz, said he spoke with the President of Lebanon. He informed him that Lebanon must stop Hezbollah. He said that if the firing continues, Israel will take control of the area itself. He said that Israel must ensure peace for the northern communities.
