"Majority of Israelis Under Fire as Afula and Nazareth Hit "
That is the headline on the front page of Arutz Sheva as of twenty-four minutes after midnight in Israel:
Missiles landed in Afula, Upper Nazareth and the environs shortly before midnight Sunday. A majority of Israelis spent the night under threat of missile attack as Tel Aviv prepares for the worst.
From 11 PM until shortly before midnight missiles fell in the communities surrounding Afula and the Jezreel Valley, including Upper Nazareth, Migdal Ha'emek and Givat Ela - the farthest south the missiles have yet reached at 31 miles from the northern border.
Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah's television appearance Sunday afternoon promised attacks on more Israeli cities, prompting a majority of Israel’s citizens to spend the night under threat of missiles.
Residents of Tel Aviv and communities to the north of the city were told on Sunday to “be alert” and that they would have a one-minute warning of any impending rocket attack in which to make their way to a shelter.
Pundits on Israel Radio discussed the ambiguous advice of the Home Front Command to "be alert," opining that they would not advise people to go about their normal business Monday, as residents of Haifa did Sunday - resulting in the deaths of eight workers at a train garage when a missile crashed through the roof.“We surprised you in Haifa and promise to surprise you far past Haifa,” Nasrallah said in a televised statement.
IDF officials said an air-raid siren will sound in the event of an attack on the area. Anyone who is unable to make it into a shelter is being instructed to move into a stairwell or stand close to a wall. Anyone caught outside and too far from a building was told to lie flat and not to move.
The public was told by the Home Front Command that there would be updates and to await further instruction.
A 48-hour emergency status for communities from the Golan across northern Israel to the Galilee was declared on Sunday in the wake of a lethal rocket attack on Haifa that left eight dead in a direct hit on the city’s train station.
Hezbollah, instead of heeding the world's call to end this, and return the kidnapped soldiers, has decided to press forward. You have to give them credit for being gutsy, but that is about it. There are no brains at work amongst Hezbollah's command in Lebanon. The more they strike Israel, the nastier it will get for them, as well.
And Israel has proven that they can hurt them. The strike targeting Hassan Nasrallah on Friday was such a display. The Israelis are not worried about hitting key targets. With the bridges out and the airport gone, Hezbollah will not be running far. Any caught in the open desert are going to be killed by the IAF.
But it is shock for Israel to be hit so hard and so far within their borders. It will not break them. Rather, it will reinforce them in their efforts to finish off the threat of Hezbollah.
