From locked shelters to sleepless nights, Israelis and Iranians describe the fear, disbelief, and strange routines of life under fire The conflict between Israel and Iran is slowly but steadily morphing into a full-scale war – one where drones give way to ballistic missiles, military targets are replaced by homes and offices, and threats of mass bloodshed drown out any hopes for negotiation. While Israeli civilians have long grown used to sirens and shelters, the recent escalation came just as abruptly for them as it did for Iranians. No ...moreone was ready. RT spoke with residents of Jerusalem and Tehran – two cities at the heart of a decades-long standoff that had remained largely bloodless, until now. They shared what it’s like to live through the airstrikes, flee their homes, and face a grim new reality no one asked for – one that may not be going away anytime soon. The day it all changed RT: How did you survive the first day of attacks? Leila, Jerusalem (name changed): Friday began at 3 AM. First, I heard a city-wide siren, which usually sounds during attacks from Yemen. Then – a terrifying alert, not from some app, but directly from the phone’s built-in emergency system. It usually warns of earthquakes, tsunamis, or other disasters. It screams horrifically… @inon_ben_shushan ⚠️מוזמנים לעקוב לעוד עדכונים⚠️ מעכשיו, תקבלו לנייד "מסר אישי" באירוע חירום נרחב - אוטומטית אחרי שנים של ציפייה, פיקוד העורף סוף סוף מיישר קו עם מדינות רבות ברחבי העולם והודיע היום (ראשון) על השקת "מסר אישי" - מערכת התרעה "שידור תאי" שתשלח הודעות ישירות לטלפונים סלולריים באירועי חירום רחבי היקף, כמו מטחי טילים. באמצעות הטכנולוגיה, הודעת חירום תופיע על גבי מסך הטלפון בלי שום צורך בפעולה מצד המשתמש, ותלווה בצליל התרעה ייחודי. חשוב לציין שהמערכת לא תחליף את יישומון פיקוד העורף או את הצופרים, אלא תהווה נדבך נוסף במערך ההתרעה. שיבושי המיקום ברחבי הארץ לא צפויים להשפיע על המיקום של המכשיר במקרה הזה. ♬ original sound - Inon Ben Shushan In many parts of Israel, such alerts are unusual. In Jerusalem, for example, sirens hadn’t sounded like that in years – until October 7, when rockets came directly from Gaza. I’ll admit – after hearing the siren for the first time, I am now scared of everything: the wind howling, the oven timer, my alarm clock. I start shaking all over when I hear those. We were told to go to a [bomb] shelter as quickly as possible and follow instructions from the Home Front Command (a branch of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responsible for civil defense — RT). Everyone was running, terrified, asking what was happening. Everyone woke up. Usually, when there’s a citywide siren, no one runs [to shelter] – mostly it’s just one missile from the Houthis, intercepted in the desert or outside Israel. Normally, the Home Front Command states what’s coming and from where – drone? Missile? UAV? – but this time, nothing. Nothing in the official Israeli news either, so I opened Al Jazeera’s livestream – and saw Tehran being bombed. © social media So many questions popped up: “Are they bombing because something came from Tehran? Or are we being attacked too?” When we realized we weren’t in danger, we went back home. Once we got there, we found...

Large-scale attacks designed to bring down Internet services by sending them more traffic than they can process keep getting bigger, with the largest one yet, measured at 7.3 terabits per second, being reported Friday by Internet security and performance provider Cloudflare. The 7.3Tbps attack amounted to 37.4 terabytes of junk traffic that hit the target in just 45 seconds. That's an almost comprehensible amount of data, equivalent to more than 9,300 full-length HD movies or 7,500 hours of HD streaming content in well under a minute. Indiscriminate target bombing Cloudflare said the attackers...more “carpet bombed” an average of nearly 22,000 destination ports of a single IP address belonging to the target, identified only as a Cloudflare customer. A total of 34,500 ports were targeted, indicating the thoroughness and well-engineered nature of the attack.Read full article Comments
