Rav Shmuel Eliyahu, the chief rabbi of Tzefas, urged both the government and the IDF on Sunday to take necessary measures to ensure the safety of the northern residents.
“This morning, the people of Tzefas and the Galilee witnessed a miracle. Despite the launch of dozens, perhaps even hundreds of rockets, thankfully, no one was injured,” Rabbi Eliyahu stated.
He continued, “In the north, we face daily attacks. This is not a new occurrence; we experienced a similar assault on Friday and again last week.”
Rav Eliyahu emphasized, “We appeal to the IDF, its commanders, and the Israeli government to ensure that we have the same right to safety as those in Tel Aviv. We expect to live here without fear, and for safety to be guaranteed throughout the northern regions.”
Earlier, David Azulai, the head of the Metula Council, expressed on 103FM radio, “Every time, the ministers make significant decisions that essentially grant the Prime Minister and Defense Minister the authority to avoid making any decisions.”
Azulai suggested, “I propose a new name for the operation: Operation Peace for Tel Aviv. We are treated as different from the residents of central Israel. In Metula, there are no residents left. For 11 months, we’ve endured hits, with over 40 percent of residents’ homes damaged. We endure the same attacks, and today’s barrage was four times greater. While Tel Aviv is spared, we face quadruple the impacts in the north.”
He lamented, “We are constantly under attack, with increasing rocket fire. Everything that travels from the south to the north, and vice versa, passes over Metula. We are essentially the battleground. Most of the interceptions occur above us. The entire region appears to be neglected by the State of Israel without any Knesset decision. I believe this is unlawful, and the Attorney General should investigate it.”
“There is no agriculture, no tourism, and we are about to start a new school year with nothing thriving here. Although IDF soldiers are stationed to guard the Strip, we seem to have abandoned this region. The Israeli government needs to take a more decisive action or relinquish this land as it did with Yamit.”

Tel Aviv has Ben Gurion Airport, the lifeblood of travel. Can’t compare Tsfas to Tel Aviv. Silly argument.
Is that what matters
Actually it’s redder
