Jerusalem post, editorial:
Now there is a danger that a failure to decisively defeat Hezbollah could join the failure to defeat the jihad in Iraq and the feckless response to both Iran's support for terrorist offensives and its defiant nuclear drive. The tentacles of the global jihad, led by Iran, have come to Israel. Israel must, for its own sake and the world's, do its utmost to ensure their undeniable destruction.

Yedioth Ahronoth, comment by Ron Ben-Yishai:
If Hezbollah comes out of this fight with the upper hand, Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Jordan and other jihadis in the region will look to Iran for leadership and will adopt Hezbollah's tactics. Normal life in Israel will not be possible, and in the long term Israel's existence will be at risk.

Haaretz, comment by Naomi Ragen:
Save your sympathy for the mothers and sisters and girlfriends of our young soldiers who would rather be sitting in study halls learning Torah, but have no choice but to risk their precious lives full of hope, goodness and endless potential, to wipe out the cancerous terrorist cells that threaten their people and all mankind. Make your choice, and save your tears. That terrorists have been unsuccessful in killing more of our women and children is due to our army, God and prayers, not to any lack of motivation or intention on their part. If you hide behind your baby to shoot at my baby, you are responsible for getting children killed. You and you alone.
