The war that began on June 13, initiated by Israel and named "Rising Lion," has entered its 8th day, following retaliatory attacks by Iran, which it called "True Promise."
THE TOLL IS HEAVY
In Israel's attacks, at least 227 people have died, including high-ranking military officials such as Iranian Chief of General Staff Bakiri and Commander of the Revolutionary Guards Selami. In its retaliation, Iran targeted Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa with hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles, in addition to drones (UAVs). Due to Iranian missiles that bypassed Israel's air defense systems, at least 25 people lost their lives. The number of injured has been reported to exceed 500.
THE FIRST CHOICE OF THOSE FLEEING WAS SOUTHERN CYPRUS
As Iran's ongoing missile attacks caused great panic among the people living in Israel, the first choice of those fleeing the country was Southern Cyprus.
7 SCHOOLS TURNED INTO HOMES
Approximately 5,000 people fleeing Israel have settled in Southern Cyprus. Due to the full occupancy of hotels and synagogues, the Greek Cypriot government decided to convert 7 schools, 5 of which are primary schools and 2 are high schools, into 'homes.'
120 YACHTS ANCHORED AT LARNACA PORT
The Greek Cypriot airspace has also started to serve an additional 500 flights daily. It has been reported that air traffic control personnel are experiencing difficult moments due to excessive congestion. Yesterday, 120 yachts carrying Israelis anchored at Larnaca port.
