Hebrew media: Tel Aviv government races against time and opens shelters in anticipation of an Iranian strike

This readiness comes as a result of assessments that any American attack will be met with an Iranian attempt to bomb the "beating heart" of the occupation to achieve a balance of deterrence. According to sources, the municipalities of Ofakim in the south and Ra'anana north of Tel Aviv have decided to open public shelters.

Sources: The municipality of Kiryat Gat in the south opens its public shelters as the "zero hour" approaches for the anticipated American attack on Iran. The strategic areas in the occupied entity have witnessed unprecedented mobilization.

According to sources, municipalities in major cities, led by Tel Aviv, Beersheba, and Dimona, have begun opening and equipping public shelters, a clear indication of serious fears of a direct Iranian missile response that could target economic centers, military bases, and sensitive installations.

In Tel Aviv, the economic center of the occupation, the municipality announced the opening of shelters in all neighborhoods, along with the distribution of strict instructions to residents regarding the "response time" to air raid sirens.

This readiness comes as a result of assessments that any American attack will be met with an Iranian attempt to bomb the "beating heart" of the occupation to achieve a balance of deterrence.

As for Beersheba, which is considered the gateway to the south and includes vital command centers and air bases such as "Hatzerim," the readiness of fortified shelters has been raised to the highest level.

Sources indicate that the army expects the south to be targeted with intense missile barrages, either from inside Iran or via long-range missiles, which has made Beersheba a pivotal area in the internal defense plan.

Preparations in Dimona are of utmost importance and sensitivity, given the presence of the nuclear reactor there. Shelters have been opened for residents simultaneously with the reinforcement of air defense systems (such as Patriot and Arrow) around the city.

Security agencies fear that Tehran may launch a "symbolic or retaliatory strike" towards Dimona in response to any American targeting of its nuclear facilities.

Tel Aviv: Opening public shelters and securing metro stations as refuge areas.

Beersheba: Mobilization in surrounding air bases and equipping shelters in residential areas.

Dimona: Tightening air defense surveillance and opening shelters for residents to confront any qualitative missile threat.

The transition of Tel Aviv, Beersheba, and Dimona to a "shelter opening" status means that the occupation is not just awaiting an American attack, but is preparing for a heavy price it may pay deep within its cities. With continued coordination with "CENTCOM," these settlements remain in a state of bated breath, awaiting what the coming hours may bring, which could turn these shelters into havens for millions of residents fearing fire coming from the East.

According to sources, the settlements of Ofakim in the south and Ra'anana north of Tel Aviv have decided to open public shelters, and the settlement of Kiryat Gat in the south is opening its public shelters.

Sources reported that the opening of shelters in some settlements was by decision of the heads of the settlements and not by the Home Front Command, and the majority of municipalities that opened shelters are in the southern and central regions.
