In the heart of surging tensions across West Asia, Hezbollah is reportedly preparing to launch an attack on Haifa. This city is Israel's third-largest and a critical hub in the north, close to the Lebanese border, according to Leonid Reznik, head of Haifa's Emergency Preparedness Department.

During an exclusive interview with ANI, Reznik detailed the city's heightened vigilance, supported by hundreds of CCTV cameras. These are strategically placed to provide real-time monitoring and rapid response in the event of a rocket attack, ensuring immediate action by police and emergency services.

Recent intensifications in Israel-Hezbollah conflicts have resulted in massive displacements in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, the Israeli Defense Force reports that over 1,100 airstrikes have been conducted, with no plans to ease these offensive measures. Such ongoing strife follows the October 7 incursion by Hamas, which has escalated regional instability significantly.
