In its statement, the Revolutionary Guard said the new rocket wave includes American targets in Erbil, sites belonging to the Fifth Fleet, in addition to targets in the heart of Tel Aviv.

Shelters: History & Law

Israeli shelters are buildings of reinforced concrete and armored metal in which Israelis take shelter when sirens sound; they range from private shelters in homes and shared shelters in apartment buildings to public shelters.

The construction of these shelters coincided with the declaration of the occupying state in 1948, and beginning in the early 1950s the Israeli Civil Defense Law required the construction of public shelters in all cities and villages.

After the Iraqi missile attack in 1991, contractors and real estate developers became required to build a shelter in every new home.

Safety Debate and Context

Israeli public opinion is witnessing an ongoing debate about the degree of protection shelters provide, especially since only 65% of the population can reach them, and despite the fortifications some security officials do not rule out that direct hits on shelters could kill those inside.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously had to take refuge in a temporary shelter more than once after sirens sounded following previous attacks on Israel.
