“60 garages provide room for 800,000 people in the event of missile attack”
This means an average of 13333 people per parking garage. I presume enough toilets, water, food etc are available for a prolonged stay, as the hostilities might go on for several weeks, and the only way the war with Iran will be fought is with missiles.
“An underground parking lot at the Habima national theater in Tel Aviv that can be used as a bomb shelter for 1600 people.”
1600 people? That’s 11733 short of the required average. What am I missing here?
