On Day 20 of the West Asia war, Indians living in Israel have been shifted to bomb shelters as attacks from Iran continue. So, watch as India Today's Sweta Singh speaks to stranded Indians about how they are surviving in Israel amid escalating missile and drone attacks from Iran. They revealed how modern Israeli apartments are built with dedicated bunker rooms equipped with metal and double doors for safety purposes. When asked about preparedness, residents highlighted Israel's advanced technology and alert systems that provide six to seven hours notice. The frequency of alarm sirens has decreased, but Iran has shifted to using cluster bombs designed to harm citizens more than military infrastructure. Unlike the 2023 attacks when some people remained on roads filming air interceptions, this time no one is seen outside as everyone rushes to shelters. Community bomb shelters exist in areas where houses lack individual bunkers. Israel's strong air defense infrastructure and bomb shelter system helps citizens cope with living in a country permanently at war with neighbours and Iranian proxy organisations.
