In one of the underground bomb shelters of Tel Aviv – slightly more than a narrow corridor with thick walls – still standing.
There was no internet connection to obtain any information about the explosions heard outside, as the exchange of fire between Israel and Iran continues.
A young Israeli person, who was trying to find a reception on his phone, “We can still worry about a blockage or hit, but obviously you can worry about how close it is or if you know how close it is or if a person can be in danger.”
Since Israel attacked Iran a week ago, Life in Tel Aviv has been decided by the rhythm of a phone alert issued by the domestic front command of Israel and a warning warning of ballistic coming from Iran.
On Thursday morning, Iran started another missile barrage in Israel. While most were intercepted by Israel’s defense systems, some hit buildings in the city of Holon and Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan, as well as Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheeba in Southern Israel, left a mark of destruction in Soroka Hospital, Surgical Ward. Israeli media reported that the campus was evacuated on the previous day.
‘A very strange and unstable time’
Alert Annie arrives at time, and may take some time for all-cleaer.
“Life must move forward, and we have been through many other crises, but this is definitely a very strange and unstable time,” Lyor told DW.
When another alert was recently triggered in the morning, one of the missiles developed defense systems and hit a building just one kilometer (0.6 mi).
The shelter was shaken by the effect, causing people to gasp.
Shira said, “This is scary. We understand that missiles are fatal and this situation feels different from previous conflicts. I wonder how long it can last. People are not already sleeping,” said the Shahira, who refused to give her the last name.
Netanyahu keeps an eye on his heritage after the October 7 attacks.
For Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Iran is the biggest threat to Israeli’s safety. Iran insists that this atomic program is for civil purposes, but Netanyahu believes it fulfills military objectives. The leadership of Iran has vowed to annihilate Israel and its people, and Iran Y therefore pose a threat to its ballistic missiles and many scenes in the region.
Netanyahu was threatened for years to attack Iran and was reportedly closed several times, but in the end, a major conflict was always avoided. Instead, Israel, a so -called “Chhaya”, fights against Iran, cyber attacks, rhetoric dangers and many Iranian supporters in the region against Iranian Proxy, such as Hizbullah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and Hamas Jihad and Islamic Jihad and Hauthis in Yemen.
But all this changed on 13 June last Friday.
“For many years [Netanyahu] Got out. Hey what are not real that can be ready to take steps that can end with fatal and destruction. So what happened now? “Akiva Alder, an experienced Israeli journalist and commentator, told DW.
Like other analysts, Elder believes that Netanyahu has to overcome the “heritage” of the 7 October massacre.
As of October 7, 2023, Netanyahu presented it as the final security of Israeli’s security. But this image arose when Hamas -led militants attacked Israel, with about 1,200 people killed, mostly citizens, and the country’s worst security failure was taken by many and 251 hostage by many as the country’s worst security failure.
It started a war in Gaza, where according to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 55,000 Palestinians have died since the Israeli war on Hamas.
Extensive Israel support for attacks on Iran
Netanyahu’s domestics critics accused her that she does not want to end the war in Gaza and Hamas is accused of failing to agree to a new deal with the Hamas terrorist group that would secure the release of the remaining mortgage in exchange for a ceasefire.
But his remote coalition partners threatened to leave the alliance and trigger the early elections if they ended the war without Hamas. In the light of his corruption test, critics accused Netanyahu of using war to maintain war on power.
After last week attacks on Iran, Netanyahu has corrected some of its failures on Israeli’s television broadcasting.
There is widespread support among the Jewish Israelis for attacks in Iran. Some 83% surpass Israel’s military operations and express their confidence in Israeli security institutions and see preparations for long -term conflicts. This is according to the referendum survey conducted by Tel Aviv University and Hebrew University at Jerusalem this week.
In contrast, the majority of Palestinian Israeli citizens stated that the strike and military action were favored.
In Ramat Gana, a suburb of Tel Aviv, Ronnie Arnon saw extensive damage in his neighborhood in mistrust. A missile violated the defense system and hit a building, killing a person.
“I am in a minority here, so many people are helpful,” Arnon told DW at the beginning of the Israeli-Iran struggle on Saturday.
“Our Prime Minister is called a magician, because he knows how to make a show, how we are winning and defeating all our enemies. We started a fire that we know to end others.”
A window of opportunity
Analysts say that one of the factors that paved the route for the attack were the systematic weakening of Israel behind Iran’s regional screen in the last months.
During the final direct exchange of fire between Iran and Israel in October 2024, Israel claimed significant air defense systems, creating an opportunity to reduce and attack Iran’s defense capabilities.
In December, Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian government, another Iranian colleague, was uprooted.
Israeli military officials told DW that Israel needed aerial freedom of the movement, needed and paved the way for its Air Force to attack Iran.
Everyone’s eyes are now on US President Donald Trump, who is said to have been associated with Israel in military action in the United States of America.
Although Trump had advised Netanyahu against resorting to military action, he has changed his tune since then. This is despite the fact that his administration interacted with Iran, which was mediated by Iran about mediation by Oman.
On Tuesday, Trump said that the US would not kill Ayatollah Khamenei for now, “but demanded Iran’s” unconditional surrender “.
,[Netanyahu] It feels comfortable that he can pull Trump into it, “said the Elder.” And what will be missed? Netanyahu will be the leader of Israel who saved us from another Holocaust, “referring to the declared goals of Iran’s leadership that Israel should be destroyed.
Hostage and war in Gaza
But Israel is fighting on another front: war in Gaza.
On Wednesday, at the Central Dyzengoff Square, Tel Aviv, a small group of protesters placed large pictures of the remaining Israeli hostages held in Gaza.
One of them was the mother of the soldier Matan Angress, who was taken hostage on 7 October.
“When the war war in Iran, we were afraid of our precious one, my son, wanted to forget there in Gaza, his situation is bad, his life is in danger,” Anat England told DW.
“But a few hours later, I received a lot of messages from many Israelis that they felt that with success in Iran, it would help bring it [the hostages] Back. ,
England is critical for Netanyahu’s government not to do enough to bring his son and other hostage homes soon.
But he believes that a weak Iran will take low support for Hamas and to the end of the war in Gaza.
“We hope that the decision to work is now associated with Gaza; it is part of a strategic plan and that the Israeli government will eventually be able to end the war in Gaza,” Angress told DW.
“Because when we take out terrorists, Iran leaders, we can finish everything we start in Gaza, and we will not be in danger anymore.”
