Defense Minister Yoav Gallant held a situational assessment today (Sunday) in the Metula area of northern Israel.
"We will return the communities [of northern Israel] to their place, and we will do it either through an agreement process or through forceful action, with all implications of that. We do not want war, but we will not hold back for too long," Gallant said.
