Faced with the risk of a response from Iran and its allies, Israeli society is preparing. On Sunday, August 4, several attacks took place. In neighboring Lebanon, many residents prefer to flee in the face of the risk of an Israeli attack.
A stabbing attack killed two people on Sunday morning, August 4, in Holon (Israel), near Tel Aviv. Two other people were injured. The suspect is a Palestinian resident of the occupied West Bank. This attack comes in a context of great tension. The Israeli Minister of National Security called on citizens to arm themselves even more. “Our war is not only against Iran, it is also being fought in our streets. That is why we are arming our people, (with) 150 000 gun licenses granted in 8 months”said Itamar Ben-Gvir.
Another alert, this time aerial, came from Ashdod in the morning. During the night, the anti-aircraft defense intercepted in time 30 projectiles launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon. A little further away, the coastal city of Haifa expects to be one of the areas targeted by the announced response of Iran and its allies. Under the hospital, a parking lot has been transformed into an emergency care center. Anxiety has also taken hold in Lebanon, where many people are waiting to be able to leave the territory, at Beirut airport, on Sunday.
