On April 14, tensions in the Middle East escalated as Iran launched a series of drones and missiles in a direct attack on Israel. The city of Jerusalem, known for its historic and cultural significance, found its skies illuminated with \"red lights,\" a chilling sight described by CGTN stringer Mattia.
Mattia recalled the moment vividly: \"The sky of Jerusalem full of red lights,\" the scene initially \"really scary.\" However, in his residential area, a sense of normalcy prevailed. Children continued to play outside, and people went about their daily routines, displaying remarkable resilience in the face of unexpected turmoil.
This incident underscores the fragility of peace in the region and the everyday bravery of its residents, who strive to maintain normal life amidst geopolitical tensions.
