Air raid sirens echoed across Tel Aviv on March 1, 2026, as Iran launched missile attacks toward Israel, prompting residents to take shelter in underground facilities. CGTN correspondent Jonathan Regev provided real-time updates from a converted underground parking lot where dozens sought refuge.
"There's a palpable tension, but people are following protocols calmly," Regev reported, noting the absence of visible panic despite multiple alerts. Authorities maintained strict safety measures, keeping civilians under cover until threats passed.
The escalation follows recent joint U.S.-Israeli military operations targeting Iranian positions. Analysts suggest this exchange marks a significant deterioration in regional stability, with potential implications for global energy markets and security alliances.
