Israeli media are reporting on the aftermath of Iran’s strikes on “Israel” with cities turning ghostly amid the mass exodus of settlers.

Lamenting the situation underway in Israeli cities following the impact of retaliatory strikes by Iran, Israeli Channel 12 was particularly alarmed by the situation in Tel Aviv, “the city that never rests.” It indicated that the city was forced to a standstill by Iran’s missiles.

“Known for its constant bustle and noise, it suddenly appeared deserted,” the channel revealed, explaining how everyone is packing their bags to leave.

The Israeli channel pointed to the fortified rooms, which have become scarce, and the empty shops, adding that even when the municipality decided to open parking lots for free, no one benefited, because the “city is simply fleeing from itself."

Even the eldest settlers in Tel Aviv can't recall a similar situation, as most apartments in old buildings lack any shelter within the building itself or fortified rooms.

The Israeli channel quoted Rekhes, who lives in an apartment on HaYarkon Street with his wife and left the city in search of a fortified shelter, as saying, "The majority of the residents have left the city."

Channel 12 reported that "those who were undecided between staying or leaving were finally persuaded to leave after a direct hit on one of the city's upscale towers last Friday."

Another settler described a prevalent feeling among the settlers that the Iranians are primarily targeting Tel Aviv, thus the need to leave the city.
