Ballistic Missile: 1 Million Israelis Hurry to Below Shelters at Night

More than 1 million Israelis hurried to the underground shelters after Hezbollah launched missiles towards the north of the country and Haifa which is in the center of Israel.

This “alert” which is trending in Arabic and English, is sourced by the Israel army as a ballistic missile entered the Haifa skies.

Al Jazeera Arabic has combined all the “urgent alerts” by the Israeli army and carried this piece of rattling news.

It stated that the Israeli Broadcasting Authority pointed out that one rocket was intercepted but sirens went off in wide areas for fear of the shrapnel after its interception.

This is while the pan-Arab channel said that the Israeli Army Radio blasted out that a ballistic missile fired from Lebanon was intercepted after sirens were sounded in Haifa

The Army Radio also stated that heavy surface-to-surface missile was fired from Lebanon across the border towards Haifa and which caused the sirens to be activated.

It also mentioned that the Israeli air defenses succeeded in intercepting one missile that crossed over causing people to go to the underground shelters as quickly as possible.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) sounded the alarm on Saturday over a rapidly escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

“All basic supplies are running out in Gaza. It means babies, children are going to bed hungry,” Juliette Touma, the agency’s director of communications, said in a statement.

“Six weeks into the Israeli-imposed siege blocking the entry of aid and commercial supplies, food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries closed, and hunger is spreading,” the agency also noted.

The UNRWA emphasized that “immediate action is needed to prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis.”

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

More than 50,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
