Shortly before a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was due to take effect, residents in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba were woken early on Tuesday by the sound of missile alarms on their phones.
"Extreme alert," the message read, warning of an imminent strike. Then the sirens sounded in the streets.
Like others, Merav Manay and her family headed into their safe room - a secure part of their apartment built of reinforced concrete with a heavy metal door and designed to protect against rocket attacks.
When the Iranian missile hit, they felt the building move and covered their heads with their arms.
"It was so strong that we thought it was the end," she said.
