Rashi, on Lam 2:3

“Ghimel. He hath broken in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy: and he hath kindled in Jacob as it were a flaming fire devouring round about.”

“He has withdrawn His right hand He withdrew Himself as though withdrawing His right hand from waging war on behalf of His children.”
