Israeli media reports that just days after Gallant issued threats against Lebanon, Hezbollah struck the Ramat David base, heightening the fears of settlers and compelling them to seek refuge in already overcrowded shelters.

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."

Also from Kiryat Bialik, a settler commented on the Hezbollah missile attack on Sunday, asserting that “something like this has never been seen before, not even in 2006.”

In an interview with Israeli newspaper Maariv, the settler noted that "there was an assumption that Hezbollah would respond, but not this powerful."

The settler added, referring to the failure of the Iron Dome to intercept the rockets fired by Hezbollah: “There is supposed to be an Iron Dome protecting us, but what happened was quite the opposite.”

Notably, Israeli media reported that at least 13 settlers were injured, one of whom is in critical condition, alongside extensive damage in Kiryat Bialik, where entire homes were burned and approximately 12 buildings were damaged due to the rocket attacks from Lebanon.

Israeli media reported at dawn that there was a "danger to the lives" of the settlers, with some residents of Kiryat Tivon expressing frustration that the shelters they sought refuge in were closed.

These comments come after the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon's strikes at dawn on Sunday against the Ramat David base and airport, using dozens of Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 rockets.

The Resistance also targeted the Rafael military-industrial complex at 6:30 a.m north of the occupied city of Haifa, also firing dozens of the same rockets.
