Ibyo bitero bibaye mu gihe Minisitiri w’ingabo wa Israel Yoav Gallant yatangaje "icyiciro gishya mu ntambara", ndetse no mu gihe umutwe w’ingabo za Israel wagabwe mu majyaruguru.
Umunyamabanga mukuru w’Umuryango w’Abibumbye (ONU) António Guterres yaburiye ku "byago bikomeye ko ibintu byafata indi ntera cyane", asaba impande zose "kwifata cyane bishoboka".

Igisirikare cya Israel cyemeje ko umutwe w’ingabo (cyangwa ’division’) uherutse kurwanira muri Gaza woherejwe mu majyaruguru.
Hezbollah ivuga ko ibyo irimo gukora ari ugufasha Hamas – na yo ifashwa na Irani ndetse ifatwa na Israel n’ibihugu byinshi byo mu burengerazuba nk’umutwe w’iterabwoba – ndetse ko izahagarika ibitero byayo byambukiranya umupaka ari uko gusa imirwano ihagaze muri Gaza.
Ikimenyetso cy’icyo umutwe wa Hezbollah ushobora kuba urimo guteganya gukora mu gihe kiri imbere, gishobora kuboneka kuri uyu wa kane, ubwo umutegetsi ukomeye wawo, Hassan Nasrallah, yitezwe kuvuga ijambo.
