Tel Aviv Residents Use Reinforced Bomb Shelters Amid Ongoing Missile Sirens

As the Israel-Iran conflict continues into its 15th day, residents of Tel Aviv frequently respond to air raid sirens by seeking refuge in reinforced bomb shelters known as Mamad. These safety rooms, built with steel and concrete walls and equipped with air purifiers and blast doors, are designed to protect against missile strikes and chemical threats. Despite disruptions to daily life, the shelters provide a sense of security, as noted by residents including an Indian national living in the city.
