Hezbollah's rocket and missile attack directly impacted the occupied city of Haifa, rendering its streets completely void of Israeli settlers, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported on Monday. 

The newspaper cited a settler as saying that no warnings were given in Haifa ahead of the Lebanese Resistance's attacks. As a result, the Rambam Hospital transferred all of its activities to a car garage. 

Meanwhile, the occupation authorities in Haifa announced the halt of classes on Tuesday. 

Settlers in Ein Zivan in the occupied Syrian Golan and Kiryat Shmona in the occupied north received instructions to remain near shelters until further notice. 

In the Kiryat Bialik settlement, located in northernmost Haifa, the head of the local authority affirmed that the fears among settlers of rockets and missiles targeting their settlements have come true, expressing worries about being subjected to what the northern settlements are experiencing due to the lack of shelters. 

Another settler from Kiryat Bialik stressed that the Hezbollah attack was unprecedented, saying "Something like this has never been seen before, not even in 2006.”

In an interview with the Israeli newspaper Maariv, the settler indicated that "there was an assumption that there would be a reaction from Hezbollah, but it was not expected to be this strong."

"There is supposed to be an Iron Dome protecting us, but that is not what happened," he added, amid the Iron Dome's failure to intercept the rockets fired by Hezbollah.

Israeli media also spoke of a "danger to the lives" of the settlers, with some of the Kiryat Tivon settlers complaining that the shelters they had fled to were closed.

Hezbollah paralyzes the North

Yesterday, Israeli media confirmed that the attack carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon on Sunday has effectively "paralyzed the North," underscoring the significant impact of Hezbollah's actions on the region's stability.

Israeli media reported that four people were injured in Kiryat Bialik, with two buildings in the settlement sustaining damage. An Israeli news platform indicated that entire homes in Kiryat Bialik and the surrounding area were burned. Additionally, Rambam Hospital in occupied Haifa announced the arrival of five individuals injured from the rocket attack.

Israeli media reported that Hezbollah launched over 120 rockets toward the North in recent hours, with approximately 30 of those fired since the morning aimed at the Krayot area, north of Haifa.

The report indicated that sirens were continuously sounding in the North and several industrial areas, reflecting the persistent alerts due to rocket attacks. Additionally, Israeli Army Radio emphasized that Hezbollah "carefully chose the targets it aimed at and the counter-message it intended to convey."

A rocket impact has caused severe damage in northern #Haifa, where Israeli medics are treating at least 3 injured settlers.
