In light of the tense situation, at the neighborhood branches we visited, we discovered that the snack shelves were empty. This is a severe shortage, while in smaller neighborhood branches, the shortage is deeper. Some of the branches in Tel Aviv are almost empty, and we even heard the supermarket's manager talking on the phone and announcing that she had no merchandise.
Carrefour Group said: "There is a significant increase in sales of hygiene products and dry food such as: pasta, canned goods, toilet paper and water. However, we are experiencing shortages of fruit and vegetable products and poultry. Our branches are open in accordance with the instructions of the Home Front Command and we are prepared with protected areas when necessary. In addition, due to the security situation, there may be changes and delays in the delivery dates of online orders."

Industry sources noted that the main problem is a shortage of workers, who have to fill the shelves in food chains, and manufacturers also have a shortage of workers.
According to Rami Levy, owner of Rami Levy Shivuk HaShikma: "There is a bit of a shortage of fresh products such as dairy products. Sigh try to cover it all. What is missing, we make up and make sure it will be, but we have to understand that there is no one hundred percent. With us there will be more poultry later. Consumers should buy what is needed, not buy double what is needed and do not panic. It's not like they'll stop producing."

Another source said, "Because of yesterday's onslaught, there are a lot of shortages in the branches, mainly in dairy products, baby formula, toilet paper, canned goods, cornflakes, paper towels, pastas, vegetables and fruits grown in the south such as carrots, potatoes, peppers and more."
At the same time, they announced that "today we are reinforcing everything possible, of course, in branches all over the country. You mainly need patience because there is inventory, you just need to replenish it all the time. The event is very reminiscent of the preparations for the coronavirus. We are preparing to import fruits and vegetables since a large amount of agricultural growth is in the envelope."
