Many residents of Tel Aviv, sheltering in railway stations and car parks, have pinned their hopes on President Trump


For a week, residents without safe shelter, including single people afraid no one would find them if they were injured, the elderly, families, the homeless and immigrants have made use of Tel Aviv’s vast underground realm, from car parks and hospitals to bus and railway stations. They are all hiding from Iran’s powerful missile volleys.

“I’m sleeping in a public place, not in my bed, in my house, where everything is familiar to me. It’s hard to fall asleep when there’s noise in the background and there are fluorescent lights, but I prefer to sleep under these terms and know I am in a safe place,” said Yonatan Luzon, 15.

Many Israelis have pinned their hopes on President Trump to finish the job — to use America’s weaponry to hit the site of Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme at Fordow, built into the side of a mountain 70-80m deep and impervious to Israeli strikes.

Holding her daughter’s hand as they walked through the rows of mattresses that lined the station walls, Katya, a swimming instructor, said Trump “has to” go in. “They won’t let them [Iran] get the weapon. He has to go in. If not now, then when? We can’t sleep here for ever,” she said.

Yonatan added: “I think Trump will go to war. I heard they have a weapon that can destroy the Iran nuclear facility, and it’s the only one that can do it — and we don’t have that. So I hope yes, he’ll go in.”
