Streets in Tel Aviv are much quieter than on a normal Tuesday, though coffee shops are starting to fill up as people working from home venture outside.

“We’re used to this,” said 32 year old Shir, who works for a credit card company. “We’re not going to let that keep us cooped up at home.”

Habimah Square, where the largest public bomb shelter in Tel Aviv is located, is completely empty.
