Israeli media reported that the head of the Metula Council, David Azoulay, strongly criticized the ceasefire agreement with #Lebanon, calling it detrimental to "Israel's" security.

Azoulay also accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of signing a "surrender agreement" with Hezbollah, claiming it would allow the group to rebuild its strength and pose an even greater threat in the future.

In this context, he warned of the ceasefire deal's long-term implications, stating, "Residents of Kfarkela, Adaisseh, Khiam, and other southern villages will return, rebuild their homes, grow stronger again, and execute another October 7 in the north."
