Israelis in ‘shock’ as Iranian missiles hit their targets
Bernard Smith ~Reporting from Amman, Jordan~
Al Jazeera is reporting from Jordan because it has been banned from Israel and the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli broadcasting authority is saying that several missiles fell in open areas injuring several Israelis who fled to shelters.
We are waiting on some more details on that. The most significant damage so far has been to Haifa port where refinery operations have been halted because of severe damage to the refinery. This is one of two refineries. Israel refines a large chunk of petrol, diesel and jet fuel, and it will be considerably inconveniencing and difficult for Israel to manage.
Israelis have never experienced anything like this in the last 40 or 50 years. So it’s come as a bit of a shock to a lot of Israelis.
Israelis are beginning to realise that this is a very, very dangerous situation that they are in. Nevertheless, Israelis always rally around the flag. They may not like Benjamin Netanyahu or his extreme right-wing government – he personally remains unpopular – but Israelis will rally around the flag when the country is under attack.
