Hezbollah claimed to have launched a series of rockets towards Israel this Tuesday (1st), raising tensions in the region. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that sirens sounded in Tel Aviv, putting the population on high alert.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed to the population to remain united and follow the authorities’ guidance as fears of an imminent attack from Iran grow. Netanyahu classified the situation as the ‘pex of a war against the axis of evil’, referring to Iran and the groups that the country supports in the region.
Israel on high alert
The IDF announced the call up of around 20,000 reservist soldiers for possible operations in Lebanon. According to information from the Israeli army, an initial incursion has already been carried out with the aim of attacking specific Hezbollah targets and preventing a possible ground invasion against cities in northern Israel.
The alert level has been raised in Tel Aviv and throughout central Israel, with authorities asking the population to remain close to bomb shelters. It is estimated that around 70% of the Israeli population, including the central regions, Jerusalem and the north of the country, is on high alert.
Impact on everyday life
The climate of tension significantly affected Israelis’ daily lives. All outdoor activities, including outings and after-school activities, have been cancelled. Beaches, which would normally be full due to the still warm autumn weather, were closed in central Israel.
In Tel Aviv, the scene is of a practically empty city, with public squares deserted at a time that would normally be full of people, especially on the eve of a Jewish holiday. The population awaits the next developments with apprehension, fearing possible attacks by Hezbollah from Lebanon or even Iran.
The situation remains extremely volatile, with Israeli authorities closely monitoring any suspicious movement and keeping their forces on standby to respond to potential threats.
