A psychological warfare situation has been imposed on the Israeli occupation by the Axis of Resistance, following its vow to retaliate decisively for the recent assassinations of leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Fouad Shokor.

The Israeli occupation has been experiencing heightened tension and confusion for days, a situation that Israeli media openly discusses following the recent assassinations of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh and senior Hezbollah commander Fouad Shokor.

Fearing an inevitable retaliation for these assassinations, which "Israel" fully anticipates, the Israeli occupation's military institution has decided to prohibit soldiers from leaving their bases.

Israeli media reports that the alert level has been raised in preparation for potential responses from Hezbollah and Iran, while settlers are rushing to seek shelter in bunkers.

The Home Front Command has instructed northern factories with hazardous materials to either empty or reduce their quantities as a precautionary measure. For instance, the Strauss factory in Akka, which uses ammonia, has decided to halt operations.

The prevailing belief among Israeli occupation leaders is that both Hezbollah and Iran will respond forcefully.

18 flights canceled at Ben Gurion Airport

Moreover, eighteen flights to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport have been canceled. In addition to Lufthansa, Swiss International Air Lines, Austrian Airlines, Delta, and United Airlines, Air India has also canceled all flights to Tel Aviv.

Notably, Israeli channel Makan reported that a Lufthansa flight crew refused to land at Ben Gurion Airport mid-flight because they were unprepared to travel to "Israel". The flight, en route from Munich, landed in Cyprus. The airline informed passengers that the plane would land in Cyprus for "technical reasons" and later announced that it would return to Germany. Passengers were given the option to disembark in Cyprus, but their luggage would be returned to Munich. The airline cited security concerns for the diversion.

Similarly, an Austrian Airlines flight also turned back from landing at Ben Gurion Airport, with the captain informing passengers that, due to security conditions, the plane was rerouted to Bulgaria for refueling before returning to Vienna.

Additionally, Emirates airline Flydubai canceled two flights to "Israel". Delta and United Airlines have suspended flights to Ben Gurion Airport until further notice due to concerns over potential retaliation for the assassinations of leaders Haniyeh and Shokor.

Iran's retaliation to differ from consulate retaliation: Israeli media

Amid the ongoing panic within the Israeli occupation and its anticipation of an Iranian response to the assassination of the Hamas political bureau chief, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran, Israeli sources told Makan, and Israeli channel, that Iran might launch ballistic missiles and explosive drones at Israeli military bases.

The sources predicted that the Iranian response could occur within a few days, possibly by the end of this week.

Unlike the previous Iranian retaliation in April, which targeted southern "Israel" and specifically the Negev Airbase, Israeli occupation sources indicated that the upcoming attack might focus on bases in central regions.

In response to Hezbollah's threats, local authorities in Haifa have canceled planned events and activities. The local settler council of Hurfish has advised settlers to stay near protected areas and avoid gathering as much as possible.
