Overview
- U.S. and Israeli forces struck military targets in Iran early Saturday, triggering a rapid Iranian missile retaliation toward Israel.
- The Israeli military reported dozens of incoming missiles and said many were intercepted as blasts were heard over Tel Aviv, the Haifa area, and Jerusalem.
- Residents repeatedly took shelter in public bunkers and underground car parks, underscoring uneven access to safe rooms, especially in poorer areas and among Bedouin communities.
- National authorities suspended classes and stopped flights, while emergency services modified procedures, including guidance to limit ambulance sirens.
- Initial injury reports remained limited yet inconsistent, ranging from a single mild case to several people lightly wounded, as West Bank checkpoint closures curtailed movement even where daily life continued.
