Katyusha missiles, fired on northern Israeli settlements, have forced 250,000 Israelis to flee the region in the past 11 days, according to the media of the Qods-occupying regime.
The media said on Sunday that Israeli military and political officials have admitted mass exodus of thousands of Israelis from nearby settlements.
The media quoted mayor of one of the settlements as saying that thus far, half of the 500,000 population of northern Israeli regions have left the area for safety out of fear of Hizbollah missiles.
The source said hundreds of tourists too have left northern Israel and Haifa port, returning the countries of origin.
In a retaliatory move, Lebanese Hizbollah has fired more than 1,000 missiles on the Jewish settlements north of the occupied Palestine, killing at least 40 Zionists and injuring hundreds of others.
Hizbollah in a fresh move on Sunday fired several missiles on Haifa, killing at least two Zionists and injuring 14 others.
Zionist regime's extensive raids on different parts of Lebanon over the past 11 days resulted in the martyrdom of more than 340 Lebanese, mostly civilians, and injury of more than 1,000 more.
A UN official in Beirut condemned Zionist regime's incursion on civilians and the residential areas in Lebanon, calling it violation of international principles, norms and regulations.
The Zionist regime has been defying demands of the UN and certain countries to stop war and establish ceasefire, insisting on continuation of war. The Zionist entity has also built up forces in southern Lebanon.
