At a beachfront hotel, a bomb shelter was packed with people in shorts and bikinis who moments earlier had been sunbathing or swimming in the sea. “We had been saying what a beautiful day this is. But they like to ruin our Sabbath, so we should have seen it coming,” said Annie Lubin.
Maureen, a British holidaymaker, said she had become grimly accustomed to the constant air raid alerts. “Even last night, when there were no sirens, I was sleeping with one eye open, waiting,” she said.
The Israeli military later gave the all clear. “I think we are going to go back to the beach now,” Lubin said.
The Israeli military has said it carried out a fresh wave of attacks on Iran, targeting missile launchers in the southwest of the country.
“A short while ago, the Israeli Air Force struck surface-to-air missile batteries in southwestern Iran,” it said in a statement.
Other attacks on Friday targeted the capital, Tehran, the central city of Isfahan and western areas of the country, military statements said.
