Iran Launches Missile Strikes on Tel Aviv and Haifa as Israel Conflict Escalates into Fourth Day

Amid the high-level maneuvering and military posturing, humanitarian groups warned of the cost to ordinary people. In neighborhoods hardest hit by the missile strikes in Tel Aviv and Haifa, families stood in line at aid centers, their homes either damaged or destroyed. School gyms and community centers were rapidly converted into shelters. Mental health professionals began working overtime, counseling children traumatized by the explosions and sirens. International aid organizations petitioned for safe corridors to deliver medical supplies, food, and clean water—fearful that continued fighting would paralyze relief efforts.
