Israeli settlers’ level of anxiety has risen as Hezbollah escalate attacks against Israeli sites along the border with Lebanon.
Hebrew media reported on Friday that a senior Israeli military official held a meeting with the mayors of northern settlements in the Zionist entity, a day after Hezbollah staged nine qualitative operations, inflicting losses upon the occupation forces.
Kiryat Shmona Mayor Avichai Stern was quoted by the Hebrew media as saying during the meeting that the level of anxiety among Israeli settlers in Kiryat Shmona has risen.
The Israeli mayor cited “hysterical calls” by the Israeli settlers who expressed fear that “they will be asked to return to the north at any moment,” according to Hebrew media.
“The Israeli army leaders need to speak less and do more,” it quoted the mayor as saying.
