Israelis in cities across the country were forced to take cover on Saturday as air raid sirens sounded, warning of incoming missiles. The tense situation unfolded as the latest round of violence erupted between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.
Many residents rushed to shelters and safe rooms in their homes and apartment buildings, while others sought refuge in hospitals and other public facilities. Images from Tel Aviv showed people huddled in a hospital hallway, some with their children, waiting for the all-clear.
