Israelis Hold Passover Seder in Tel Aviv Bomb Shelter Amid Ongoing Conflict
In Tel Aviv, Israelis gathered for a Passover seder in an underground parking garage that has been converted into a bomb shelter. This adaptation comes as a response to ongoing missile threats from Iran, following the start of a conflict involving the United States and Israel. The shelter, located beneath the Dizengoff Center mall, has become a temporary home for many residents seeking safety from air-raid sirens. The gathering was organized to avoid disruptions from frequent sirens, allowing participants to celebrate the holiday without fear of immediate danger. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with over 2,000 deaths reported in Iran and at least 19 in Israel. Despite a temporary lull in missile alerts, the threat remains, prompting continued vigilance among Israeli citizens.
