In light of the fighting on Israel's northern border, residents of the country's center have also been instructed to stay alert, and are apparently already preparing for the possibility of rocket attacks on their homes.
In recent days, Israelis have started stocking up on essential products such as mineral water, canned food and frozen food.
The food retail chains, which since the beginning of the war have shut down many branches north of Carmiel, and which sustained significant financial damages as a result, reported on Tuesday a sharp increase in the sales of emergency food products. However, the chains also reported that residents are showing no signs of panic at his point.
Commercial deputy CEO of the Blue Center chain, Uri Pelach, reported that in the last few days consumers have been "wisely" stocking up on products with an extended shelf life. "The major increase was registered in purchases of mineral water and canned food – mostly tuna and sweet corm." Pelach said.
"There was also an increase in demand for bread substitutes such as crackers and rice crackers, disposable tableware, diapers and baby food," he added.
