traveled to Haifa, the largest city in northern Israel, documenting war preparations for a potential attack by Hezbollah.

Amid ongoing negotiations between Tel Aviv and Hamas, tension on Israel’s northern border is escalating by the day. His envoy , Stavros Ioannidiswas in Haifa, Israel’s largest city in the North, where the threat of a Hezbollah attack rings ever louder.

“Haifa is more targeted. The reason for this is the large population. There are a lot of civilians here and that’s exactly what the enemy is trying to hit. Where there are more people, there are more missiles. And this is something we have been dealing with since the beginning of the war. We know they are gearing up for bigger scale and so are we”reports Maj. David Abraham.

Is the city ready to repel an attack?

“Israel’s forces are doing everything they can to make sure we are able to deal with any attack, which is inevitable from all the enemies around us. Always listen to instructions from Command and remember that air defense is not 100% guaranteed.”states Major, Ali Diamond.

The video shows a fragment of a Falaq One ​​rocket fired by Hezbollah at the Druze community in northern Israel, killing 12 children. Missiles like this as well as rockets are fired on a daily basis by Hezbollah all along the northern border.

The mayor of the city also expresses intense concern, with residents in Haifa preparing for the possibility of an attack.

“We take Hezbollah and Nasrallah very seriously. Citizens take risk very seriously. I know how it works and I am accused of being too pessimistic. It’s better for me to be more pessimistic and you more scared, than to say that everything is fine, don’t worry”emphasizes the Mayor of Haifa, Yona Yahav.

SKAI was found in one of Haifa’s 6 underground crisis management centers. From here the city authorities can monitor what is happening in the entire district through cameras and of course warn the residents in case they need to run to the shelters.

“We have a minute to get to the shelter or it could become dangerous to be outside. Possibly rockets, maybe small pieces, so in 60 seconds or a minute we have to protect ourselves,” emphasizes Head of Emergency Preparedness and Security Il Zilbermann.

Haifa’s strategically important port is one of the reasons why the city has been targeted by Hezbollah.
