Israeli President Herzog emphasized that they do not want this war, saying, "However, we have the right, like any other nation, to the most fundamental rights: to live in peace, security, and tranquility, to bring our sons and daughters back home, to return the hostages to their families, and to bring displaced citizens from the north and south back to their homes, schools, and workplaces."

Herzog noted the decisive and impressive actions of the Israeli Air Force against Hezbollah and added, "There is no doubt that even today the world knows; we have an air force made of steel! And we once again reaffirm our determination to overcome terrorism."
