Israeli Army Radio emphasized that Hezbollah "carefully selected its targets and the counter-message it aimed to convey," following the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon's strikes today on the Ramat David base and airport southeast of Haifa, as well as the Rafael military industries complex north of Haifa.
Israeli media responded with sarcasm, noting that the Ramat David base targeted by Hezbollah was the same site from which Israeli Security Minister Yoav Galant declared last Wednesday the "opening of a new phase of the war in the North."
The head of the local authority in the settlement of Kiryat Bialik, located north of occupied Haifa, acknowledged that the fears of settlers regarding potential Hezbollah missile strikes had come to fruition. He expressed concern about the precarious situation the settlers are facing in the North, highlighting that "there are not enough shelters" to protect them from escalating threats.
"For a year, we feared that the rockets would reach us, and now that fear has become a reality," he stated, adding, "We hope we won't have to endure a year like the residents in the North, where there aren't enough shelters for everyone."
