The Home Front Command has allocated approximately 1,400 shelters as part of the "Lion's Roar" operation, with nearly 30% designated for settlements and regional councils in the West Bank. This data, released by the IDF following a Freedom of Information request, shows that 423 shelters were assigned to authorities beyond the Green Line. This allocation comes despite the fact that areas beyond the Green Line generally have a higher percentage of homes with protected rooms (mamad) compared to the national average. In contrast, few shelters were provided to some central Israeli towns that experienced Iranian missile attacks, and to Arab communities facing a shortage of protective structures.
