Israelis Panic as Missile Lands in Tel Aviv

Panic and anxiety struck Israelis after a rocket fired from Lebanon fell directly on a building in Tel Aviv. Later they spoke about the damage caused by the projectile and the shock they felt after it fell.

The Israeli media reported the “terrible destruction that befell the building in Ramat Gan after the rocket fell; They “wondererd “how can everything be routine after an evening like this!”

Israeli Radio Kol Hai stated in a media statement “the radio studios, opposite the place where the rocket fell, were damaged. It confirmed “damage to the radio building and technical equipment, while the radio employees were in the fortified room, which is used as a synagogue, moment the rocket fell.”

The Israeli media also quoted a settler: “When the sirens started in our area, I never thought about standing at the window and taking pictures, but I immediately ran for cover,” and then “a rocket fell 10 meters from my house and shattered the windows, while my body went into a state of pain due to the shock.”

Meanwhile the Israeli media reported that “settlers began collecting the rocket fragments and exchanging them,” as the rocket fell in Ramat Gan.

It pointed out “dozens of young men, after the rocket fell in Ramat Gan Monday, came and began collecting the many rocket fragments in the area.”

One eyewitness described: “They [Israelis] began exchanging: I give you a large fragment and you give me two small fragments,” asking: “Since when has this been the custom?”

One media source stated: “People think these rockets are a toy, they do not realize how dangerous they are until they falls on their heads.”

Monday, Hezbollah said it bombed the Tel Haim base (of the Military Intelligence Division of the Israeli occupation army), 120 km from the Lebanese-Israeli border, in Tel Aviv, with a salvo of high-quality rockets and a squadron of attack drones, which hit their targets with precision.

As Hezbollah’s missiles hit their targets, the Israeli media speculated what their type was, especially the missile that fell on the “Greater Tel Aviv” area and directly hit a building after Israeli air defense systems failed to intercept it. The Israeli media further suggested that the missile launched from Lebanon was a Fateh 110 type with a range of 300 km.

The Ramat Gan police chief acknowledged the damage caused was by “a direct hit, not by interception shrapnel” and expressing “fear of the collapse of buildings”.

He pointed out that “Hezbollah used a missile carrying a very heavy warhead, which caused great destruction in Ramat Gan,” according to Al Mayadeen.

Eisenkot: Netanyahu Fails in His Wars on Gaza, Lebanon and Iran

Despite the wars in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has failed to achieve a decisive victory in any of them said Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Yesh Atid party.

He asserted that “alongside the remarkable military achievements, in the past two years and eight months, there has been no decisive political progress on any front,” Eisenkot told the Hebrew-language news outlet i24NEWS.

“The military achievements are evaporating due to political and personal constraints, and because of the prime minister’s approach of ‘one war after another,'” he said

“The goal of using military force is to improve the strategic situation for years to come, and this simply hasn’t happened,” he added.

In the interview, Eisenkot attacked Prime Minister Netanyahu and the extremist Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, arguing that Netanyahu’s relationship with US President Donald Trump “ties the hands of the Israeli army.”

Eisenkot accused Ben-Gvir of harboring a “fascist vision” and of “failing” in managing internal security.

He said that internal security had deteriorated under his leadership to the point where crime within the Arab community was comparable to that in Mexico and Colombia.

He described Ben-Gvir as “a man who walks around with a noose around his neck, unfit for Israeli public life.”

Eisenkot reiterated his refusal to join the “Together” alliance, which includes former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and opposition leader Yair Lapid according to Quds Press.
