As Iran launched a series of missiles and drones towards Israel, residents on the ground experienced a range of emotions.
For Tamara Jafar, a 34-year-old woman from historically Arab East Jerusalem, the attack was not taken seriously by her neighborhood. She believed the events were orchestrated by the U.S. and Israel, citing political motivations due to the upcoming elections in the U.S. and internal politics in Israel. Despite initial fear, she mentioned that they were accustomed to such situations.
