Israelis describe “distressing” night and shocking damage caused by Iranian missile attacks
From CNN's Lauren Izso
Israelis were not expecting the fear and anxiety they experienced Friday into Saturday, with several waves of Iranian missile attacks setting off air raid sirens across the country and causing extensive damage at several locations. Three people were killed.
“We heard multiple explosions. Some we could tell were very close and our safe room door would shake,” Julie Levi said, describing the night as “one of the most distressing” she has experienced.
Levi, a resident of Ramat Gan, was near the impact site of a missile that killed a 60-year-old woman Friday evening.
After spending the night constantly running for shelter with his wife and four children and hearing loud frightening explosions, Aviad Caspi said he was shocked by the damage caused by the missiles.
Caspi lives in the small community of Bitzaron near Ashdod, which is about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the Israeli border with Gaza.
When he saw images of the aftermath of a missile impact in Rishon Lezion Saturday morning, he understood it was “on a different scale” than the Hamas rocket attacks Israelis have become accustomed to.
“It was a very tough night,” he added.
