In Iran, as the bombardment began, thousands of Iranians tried to flee the capital and other major cities towards northern provinces bordering the Caspian Sea.<\/p>\n

Nearly nine million people headed out in cars from the major cities, especially Tehran.<\/p>\n

Among them was Zein*.<\/p>\n

Zein, 34, says he left his home in Tehran and headed to Kelardasht in Mazandaran province, north of the capital, on the Caspian Sea coast. The road trip took nearly 16 hours in bumper-to-bumper traffic out of the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our area, there are many military zones nearby. Because of the warnings they had given, we didn\u2019t feel safe or have peace of mind,\u201d he says. \u201cI think Tehran felt very panicked, and we were just thinking about getting ourselves out of Tehran and reaching somewhere where we could feel more secure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlike his parents\u2019 generation, who lived through the devastation of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s, this was Zein\u2019s first time experiencing such intense military conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fear of not knowing whether you\u2019ll ever return to your home or not. Whether your home will still be there or not. You have to leave your city with a thousand worries, and in such a terrifying situation, because of the roads, the traffic, and the lack of management, you somehow have to get yourself to safety,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd there\u2019s no support \u2013 you have to figure everything out on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Iranian missiles and drones that were able to make it past Israel\u2019s interceptors mainly struck neighbourhoods in Tel Aviv and Haifa, where there was damage to apartment buildings.<\/p>\n

Many residents affected by the Iranian strikes from Tel Aviv to Haifa were able to escape into bomb shelters.<\/p>\n

According to the Reuters news agency, many families with safe rooms spent most of the 12 days there, while others would use public shelters whenever an alert was raised.<\/p>\n
