Hezbollah-General Hassan Nasrallah has also “threatened to hit Haifa’s ammonia plants and other similar factories in the past, and a 2020 State Comptroller report revealed shortcomings regarding the protection of vital infrastructure and facilities by defense establishment bodies.”

“Drill For 2,000 Rockets a Day And Internal Strife: IDF Preps For War,” by Anna Ahronheim, Jerusalem Post, November 1, 2021:
Israel’s Home Front Command and is holding a week-long drill that started on Sunday simulating a large-scale war in which civilians are evacuated from northern border communities and security agencies will deal with massive rocket barrages sent by Hezbollah.
The drill is taking lessons that have been learned from past events in the North, as well as those from the May fighting between Israel and terror groups in the Gaza Strip – Operation Guardian of the Walls – and from the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
Following the May fighting, the Home Front Command “carried out a very significant learning process with a lot of research, and this exercise is going to test what we’ve learned,” said Home Front Command Chief of Staff Brig.-Gen. Itzik Bar.
