On Monday, Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav predicted that if a war with Hezbollah erupted in Lebanon, residents would have to stay in bomb shelters and parking garages for at least four consecutive days.

In an interview with Radio Tzafon 104.5FM, he stated, "We are taking every measure to ensure the safety of the city and its residents and to educate them on how to respond if missiles, which will be more accurate than those in 2006, strike."

He emphasized, "We are preparing for extended stays, as forecasts suggest we will be in bomb shelters and parking garages for at least four days in a row, which requires thorough preparation. For instance, we have mandated the construction of restrooms in new buildings where they are currently lacking."
