On June 13, local time, Israel launched a large-scale air strike against Iran, targeting more than 200 military and nuclear facilities across the country.
Late that night, Iran swiftly responded with a retaliatory operation, firing hundreds of missiles and drones at several Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa. According to official reports, Iran's overnight attack resulted in at least three deaths and dozens of injuries in Israel.
On the morning of June 14, roaming the deserted streets of Haifa, CGTN stringer Tony described the tense atmosphere and shared firsthand accounts of the previous night. "We've experienced many rocket attacks. Streets are empty and people are deeply worried. We are hoping for the best, but preparing for anything," Tony said.
As tensions linger, residents and observers alike remain on alert for any further escalation.
