Social media platforms reacted to the Lebanese Hezbollah announcement that it had targeted the Carmel Base, south of Haifa, and the Nimra Base, west of Tiberias, with a Fadi 1 missile salvo, at midnight on Sunday.
Israeli media published video clips of some rockets falling on the two cities in northern Israel, documenting explosions, destruction, and the evacuation of the injured.
While Israeli media said that the army monitored the launching of about 20 missiles from Lebanon at Haifa and Tiberias, and intercepted only a number of them, after the Iron Dome failed to intercept some of them.
As a result, the Israeli Ambulance Service announced that 10 people were injured with moderate and light injuries.
The operation sparked many comments on social networking sites, and the episode (7-10-2024) of the “Shabakat” program reviewed some of them, which varied between those who considered the operation evidence of the exhaustion of the Iron Dome missile stock and those who stressed that this bombing is the only way to deter Israel. And stop it on its own.
In this context, activist Rimsha Malik considered that what is happening is deserved revenge because “the blood of civilians in the southern suburbs, Beirut, and Sidon is matched by the blood of settlers in Haifa, Jaffa, Safed, the Galilee, and every region in the entity.”
For his part, activist Ali Muhammad called for imitating occupation activists when they tweet lies. He said, “The buildings that were hit in Haifa contained weapons, missiles, and explosives stores for Israeli terrorists.” He continued, explaining his idea: “Tweet like the occupation army.”
According to the point of view of tweeter Walid Al-Jamai, the continuation of the strong bombing may change the equation. He wrote: “If the party continues to bomb Haifa forcefully, the equation will change, and the Zionist occupation will be stopped.”
From another angle, activist Khaled Ibrahim believes that “the arrival of Hezbollah missiles perhaps indicates the exhaustion of Iron Dome missiles or an attempt to preserve a stock of them before the strike on Iran.”
Israeli media quoted Israeli officials as saying that Hezbollah fired 100 missiles at Israel during the day yesterday, Sunday, while Israeli Channel 12 said that some schools in the city of Haifa decided to suspend studies and switch to distance learning, due to the recent attack.
