For the first time in months, sirens warning of incoming attacks from Lebanon have not been heard in northern Israel, but many residents are still nonetheless outraged by the government’s ceasefire with the Hezbollah armed group, Reuters reports.

“What do I say? That it’s very bad, real bad,” Nahariya resident Levana Karsenti told Reuters of the agreement.

“They (the government) did nothing and our soldiers were wasted away for nothing. Bibi [Netanyahu] should pack himself out of the government quickly, even though I supported him. He needs to go home urgently.”
