Strategy of Hezbollah is to hit Haifa, Israel’s 3rd biggest city, says official

 

AMID the ongoing crisis in West Asia, which has resulted in a surge in tensions in the region, Hezbollah appears to be planning to hit Haifa, Israel’s third biggest city, which is incidentally the main city in the country’s north neighbouring Lebanon, according to Head of the Emergency Preparedness Department in the port city.

While speaking to ANI in an exclusive interview, the official Leonid Reznik stated that the purpose of the emergency preparedness department is to monitor the city, for which a few hundred CCTV cameras have also been installed across the city.

“We have a few hundreds of CCTV cameras inside the city. Our purpose is to monitor the city to understand what’s going on and, most importantly, to understand, in case of a straight hit of one of the rockets, where it was so we can send our workers, our police, and home from command soldiers to the place where the rocket hit,” Reznik said.

Hundreds of thousands of people have already fled southern Lebanon, where Israel’s bombardments are most intense and where the Israel Defence Force is conducting ground operations to destroy Hezbollah’s weapons cache. — ANI
