((info: The conflict with Iran has thrown daily life in Israel into chaos, severely restricting travel out of Tel Aviv’s international airport, and with air-raid alarms sending everyone hurrying into shelters. The ballistic missiles are significantly more dangerous than anything Hezbollah in Lebanon or Hamas in Gaza have ever fired. Tania Krämer reports.))

Script: 

This is where an Iranian missile hit, in a residential area in the heart of Tel Aviv. A reminder how lethal the missiles are – and how different this conflict is.  
 
Since Israel attacked Iran, life here has been dictated by the rhythm of phone alerts from Israel's Home Front Command, and air raid sirens warning of incoming ballistic missiles from Iran.

“I try to live minute by minute, so I manage the stage of how I am feeling. It’s something really hard, sad, seeing all this destruction around us, I know people who were affected by it.”
 
Some places have reopened in the last couple of days. But things are not normal, the constant threat looms over everything.  
 
Many people with foreign passports are stuck in Israel as flights have been cancelled.

“It reached the point Israel realized, ok we can’t wait any longer, what do we wait until the bomb is on its way to Tel Aviv, or do we attack them preemptively. So anxious, yes, worth it, do I regret that I extended my trip, definitely not.” 

Alerts can come at any time.

“There is another alarm warning of incoming missiles, a lot of people are coming from the neighborhood to this shelter, as they don’t have a safe room at home.”  

++++upsound alerts, sirens in the background+++ 
On the way into the basement after another alert, sirens ring out on people’s phones… and once in a while, you can hear the sound of explosions caused by missiles that have evaded Israel’s defense shield. If it’s close by, the basement shakes.

“Obviously you worry when you hear something, how close is it, how far is it. Is someone that you know in danger. What’s the damage going to be like.” 
 
For some, it is a first-time experience: 
 
+++Vox  from Zimbabwe, EN+++ 
“A lot of things are stuck and are not moving. But what can I do, this is the situation that people have to go through, and there are a lot of lessons for me to learn how people live in a war situation and how common people are affected.” 

Among some Israelis, there’s a sense of defiance about Israel’s attack on Iran.

“We have to do it, we should have done it a long time ago. Otherwise we suffer again something like October 7 one more time. So what we did we should do it long time ago. It’s better late than never.” 
 
After half an hour, the all clear comes via text message. But there will be a next time.
