On Sunday, Israeli opposition leaders praised the Israeli Air Force for their historic attack on Iran, dubbed Operation Days of Repentance, but criticized the government over it’s decision regarding which Iranian targets to strike.

In a statement, opposition Chairman Yair Lapid wrote: “I praise the Air Force, which once again demonstrated operational capabilities at the highest level in the world and its air superiority.

The decision not to attack strategic and economic targets in Iran was wrong. We could and should have exacted a much heavier price from Iran. Iran is the head of the axis of evil, and must pay a heavy price for its aggression.”

Yisrael Beytenu Chairman Avigdor Liberman struck a similar tone, saying: “The action of the Air Force in Iran brought to light the impressive capabilities of the IDF and the highest professionalism of our pilots.

“But along with this success, we cannot ignore the difficult reality and the fact that the Iranians will not stop here. They will continue their efforts to obtain nuclear weapons and they will continue to transfer the funds from the sale of oil and gas to Hezbollah, the Houthis, the Shiite militias and various proxies.”

Meanwhile, Yair Golan, the Chairman of the new The Democrats party, wrote: “The American pressure worked, or the voice of military logic worked for a change, but as things currently stand there is a great potential that the Israeli response damaged Iran’s defensiveness and offensiveness capabilities, but without dragging us into a certain war of attrition, which is not within the scope of Israel’s security and national interests.”
