People take shelter in the Tel Aviv metro AFP As night falls in Israel's coastal city of Tel Aviv, hundreds make the familiar descent into the depths of the metro to escape the latest salvo of Iranian missiles. For those with no safe shelters near their homes, the city's underground stations and car parks have become vital refuges since the war began on June 13. Despite nightly missile barrages, Israel's casualty toll has remained relatively low, with authorities repeatedly stressing the importance of taking cover in life-saving protected spaces.
