Flights Canceled. Parties Scrapped. Bomb Shelters Full: 24 Hours of War Leaves Israel Reeling - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
- Less than 24 hours after Israel’s strike targeting Iranian nuclear sites, missile barrages from Iran ignited explosions across central Israel on June 13, 2025.
- The renewed missile attacks followed an April 2024 exchange of fire that marked the first direct conflict between Iran and Israel and involved roughly 100 missiles from Iran.
- The strikes caused numerous injuries and sent Israelis to shelters as authorities instructed people to avoid large gatherings indoors and outdoors until at least 8 p.m. on Saturday, coinciding with Shabbat.
- Senior rabbis urged compliance with safety measures, emphasizing that preserving life overrides Shabbat observance, while residents like Jaffa’s Dalia Magnezi balanced caution with continuing daily routines amid sirens and warnings.
- The escalating conflict led to nationwide disruptions including the cancellation of Tel Aviv’s Pride celebration, El Al canceling flights and moving its fleet abroad, and a call for added prayers for peace and protection.
