In a report published by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Kadmon noted that many Israelis are unable to sleep in their homes due to fears of an imminent attack from Iran.

Kadmon referred to a past study indicating that 44% of Tel Aviv residents were unable to sleep at home during the Gulf War. She suggested that if a similar study were conducted now, the percentage of Israelis losing sleep out of fear of an Iranian attack would likely be even higher.

These concerns have intensified following Iran's vow to avenge the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on his accommodation in Tehran on July 31. The assassination has escalated tensions in the region, with Israel bracing for potential Iranian retaliation. (ILKHA)
