Stringer Dispatch: Tension fills the air in Haifa after strikes

On June 13, local time, Israel launched a large-scale air strike against Iran, targeting more than 200 military and nuclear facilities across the country. Late that night, Iran swiftly responded with a retaliatory operation, firing hundreds of missiles and drones at several Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa. According to official reports, Iran's overnight attack resulted in at least three deaths and dozens of injuries in Israel.
