Hi,
Tonight, like too many nights before, we ran to the protected area. But the night was different as this night IDF launched an attack on Iran.
The sirens were not to run to the protected area but to get ready to run to it. We got massages shown on the cellphone screen to follow Home Front Command guidelines.
I was a bit confused at first as my Android cellphone sent an alert of an earthquake 5.1 about 60km away. And sent me guidelines on what needs to be done in case of an earthquake.
We all got to the protected area and set down until we realized, the attack on Iran begun. There were many attacks on Iran before, as part of this war between the two countries: Like the one after Iran attack (191 day of war), and the Killing of Ismail Haniyeh (291 day of war).
But this seems to be The Attack on Iran. The attack that will eliminate Iran progress towards nuclear weapon, and many of the ballistic missilies that country aims towards Israel.
As Aba and Ima were about to take off to New York City, we were about concered their flight would cancel and they will stay in Ben Gurion airport. But in the end we realised their flight did take off on time and they are safely on the way to USA.
Take Care
