The Iranian ballistic missile, which broke Rishon Le Zion on Saturday, killed two people, detonating the roofs and doors from the buildings and was so strong that Shahhar felt the explosion in her home, four streets.

But a few hours later, when the 20 -year -old Israeli watched the first respondents looking for the wreckage of burning cars and enjoying shattered glass and construction, she was convinced that her country was right to launch its sudden attack on Iran and its nuclear facilities.

“If this is what Iran can do without nuclear weapons, then I do not even want to think about what they will do if they have,” she said, referring to the site of the influence, where a house of a pile of rubble, and the palm trees surrounding it in gray kings of concrete dust were reduced.

“We still think this is the right thing to do.”

The strike in Rishon Le Zion, a city with about 250,000 people south of Tel Aviv, was one of the many missile weeds that fired Iran in Israel in the early hours of Saturday, where the shadow battle, which lasted decades between the strongest armies in the Middle East, slipped into an explicit war.

Israel began fighting on Friday with a devastating bombing campaign that killed many of the Iranian leaders and damaged nuclear and military sites, and killing dozens of people. He said it was necessary to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb.

Iran has shot by firing hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles in Israel. While most of them were intercepted by the air defenses, some of them slipped, killing three people, wounding dozens and repeatedly sent hundreds of thousands of Israelis to bombs.

In two exchanging exchanging fires between enemies last year, Israel was very successful in avoiding the spices of the Islamic Republic, which was sent in advance – the first in several days.

However, although Israel’s recent strikes have deteriorated Iran’s ballistic capabilities, Iran’s stuffing on Saturday may cause much damage than last year. Its forces fired many sulfos and focused a large amount of fire force on Tel Aviv, where many missiles got the defenses of Israel.

Local residents of Rishon Le Zion have experienced rocket strikes before, including years of targeting during repeated fighting rounds in Israel with Hamas. In 2021, a woman was killed by the Hamas missile, a few streets away from the location of the effect on Saturday.

Nevertheless, many have been exposed due to the level of destruction caused by the most powerful missile used in the latest Sulfo in Iran, which filled social media with missile images wandering through the sky, before erupted in fire balls while they expired in their targets.

“This is the second time that it had a direct blow in this neighborhood. The last time, a woman was killed, cars were burned,” said Nerit Ben Yakov, a teacher who lives 200 meters from the strike site. “But this was worse. The explosion was very big I thought it was on our street. We were in the shelter and shook the door of the shelter. It was very strong.”

For Yanyiv Nimni, whose home was meters away from the impact site, the experience was more shocking.

“In my life, I heard explosions. But this is a completely different role. Until that happens to you, you don’t really understand what it means. You see it here and there (on social media and television), in Tel Aviv,” he said, and he looks at the ruins of his house – its doors, surface and windows, but the safe room in which he was brave with his family.

“A few meters (closer) and lose everything.”

Despite seeing the damage to Iran with Iran, it is likely to require it, and despite 20 months of the war of grinding with Hamas, a few local population watching the rescue process in Rishon Le Zion have any doubt that Israel has taken the right path to start hostilities.

“In the war there are not only losers. Even for the winners, there is a really large price. But we have to protect ourselves,” said Adam Shay, a 25 -year -old truck driver, on the pretext that if Iran continues last year: “In the war there are not only losers. Even for the winners, there is a really large price. But we have to protect ourselves,” said Adam Shay, a 25 -year -old truck driver, on the pretext that if Iran continues last year:

“Israel must destroy any possibility of the enemy to threaten. Nasrallah And (the leader of Hamas Ismail) Hani“

Limur Binder, who lives two streets away from the place of the strike, agreed – not the least of which is that Depang, defeated God and Hamas, left the enemy of Israel more weak than it was years ago.

“We do not want the war, we want calm. But Iran wanted to strike us for many years and to wipe Israel. Now there is no enthusiasm, not Hezbollah, it’s the right time,” she said. “We want (the war) to end, but we want to end well: with them with them the absence of a nuclear weapon.”
