Iran unleashed a barrage of drones and missiles at targets inside Israel in what observers around the world fear could mark a dramatic escalation of regional tensions already at a boiling point due to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

The rumbles and tremors rattling Leah Appel's Jerusalem apartment building jolted her from sleep around 1:45 on Sunday morning.

"This was a very significant attack," he said. "This was essentially hundreds of drones and missiles, which if we didn't have the defence system that we in Israel had, could potentially cause serious harm." "Around 8 'o'clock on Sunday morning, people were at the cafes, people were at the park, people got on the bus, they went to work. They were getting ready for Passover, it was just business as usual," he said.

The couple's 11-year-old daughter has been following the news closely. She went to bed dressed and had an emergency bag packed so she could get up and leave immediately. "If we don't retaliate, it gives a chance to sort of rebuild and try to attack us again. If we do retaliate, it can sort of drag our resources away from the things that we're concentrating on now. I feel like it's probably not good, either way, because you don't really want a war. Right? Nobody ever wants a war."Back in Canada on Sunday, the Iranian attack ushered in a long night of mixed emotions for Francis Weil.

'Fire in the sky:' Canadian family in Israel says it's business as usual after attackThe rumbles and tremors rattling Leah Appel's Jerusalem apartment building jolted her from sleep at around 1:45 on Sunday morning. Iran had just unleashed a barrage of drones and missiles at targets inside Israel. Appel, a Montreal native who moved to Israel with her husband after the October 7th attack on that country, says Iran's weekend offensive was unlike anything she had ever experienced in Canada. The sound of warning sirens soon prompted the Appels and their two children to grab bags prepacked with food and clothing and troop down to the apartment's bomb shelter.
