Emma Graham-Harrison, the Guardian's chief Middle East correspondent, has spoken to families who live in a Tel Aviv neighbourhood that was struck by Iran's retaliatory attacks.

At midnight on Friday Sveta's four-year-old daughter was asleep on the floor outside their shattered apartment block, as the rest of the family weighed up where they should spend the night.

A missile from the first Iranian salvo fired at Tel Aviv had landed a couple of blocks away, killing at least one person, injuring at least 16 others and damaging hundreds of shops and homes in this quiet residential area.

The 37-year-old was sanguine about her own losses, and backed the government decision to attack Iran even though it had so quickly cost her family their home.
