Woken by air raid sirens, hurrying to bomb shelters, scouring travel sites for escape routes — thousands of tourists in Israel have found their holiday plans upended by the country's conflict with Iran.

Sirens sounded on Sunday across northern and central Israel, Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and the Arava after the IDF identified missiles that were launched from Iran. The public is requested to follow the instructions of the Home Front Command.

Iran launched dozens of ballistic missiles toward Israel on Friday night in retaliation for Israel's surprise attack early Friday. Israel struck at the heart of the Iran's nuclear program, killing several nuclear scientists as well as high-ranking military leaders, according to Israeli officials.
