Just sending support to our Israeli friends

[CanISeeYourLicence]

Just wanted to send support and thoughts to our MNetters in Israel. Thinking of you all and hope that you are all well and safe.

Me too.

Hope you are all keeping safe 💐

Hear, hear 💐

Thank you ❤️🙏
been in and out of shelter for the last two days, and are very privileged to live in a new build, so we have one in our apartment. Slept there the last two nights, crammed in.
ffs as I wrote this we got extreme alerts and pre alerts 🤦‍♀️

We are thinking of you all and hoping the bombardments end soon. What a Purim this has turned out to be with a modern day Haman killed.
Am Yisrael Chai x

Didn’t get sirens in our area. Still sitting tight in case comes in waves.
we’re preparing for a very different Purim, but there’s a good spirit in the neighborhood thank Gd :) We dressed up yesterday as a family because my son was super disappointed to miss costume day. We’ve signed up for megilla reading in our building. they’re limiting numbers (can’t have big gatherings for safety) and shuls are closed. My WhatsApp chats are still full of people sourcing bits and pieces for costumes from each other.

just got alert event has ended. No siren here.

Yesterday was difficult with the casualties. we found out in the evening 2 of the victims were a mum and grandmother of a boy in my son’s school, who he knows. my son is an ASD class, and the teacher gave us guidance how to explain it to him :( heartbreaking. I kept bursting out crying yesterday evening but had to hold it together so the kids didn’t freak.

Said tehillim in the afternoon after the impact for a while, but then I took the little kids to the covered car park of our apartment buildings so they could get out the apartment, and go scootering with the neighbours, and still be right near shelters. They were going a bit stir crazy.

Pre alerts again.

Sirens x 2. In mamad now.
first pic is whole family dressed up, second pic is me and DS11 in the mamad dressed up during a siren.

I'm so sorry @EllaDisenchanted

Best wishes to you all. Thank you for the photos.

My cousin has just messaged that sirens are all over Israel now and they are also in their safe room. It's so hard for everyone especially children.

It's amazing to see the way you and your family are finding joy amidst this all. Thinking of you all often

חג פורים שמח

Amalek returns in every generation.

So true.

Also thinking of you and hoping you stay safe.

Lovely photos..what great costumes!

Thinking of all of you in Israel, hoping you can all stay safe 💐💐💐

Just adding my support and thinking of everyone in Israel. I have some distant family and old friends there but no-one I’m in regular contact with anymore.

We’ve also been in and out the shelter like the Hokey Cokey. Dog is back to waiting at the door to the safe room when the alert goes off. We have had on average 10 pre-warnings or warnings each day and hear lots of booms, thankfully in the distance, when missiles are intercepted. We did watch one rocket land in the sea off the coast about 1km away.

When people think of shrapnel they imagine small pieces of metal but the shrapnel from the rockets or the interceptions can be 4 or 5 metres long.

But life goes on. Purim was celebrated in bomb shelters. We still have to go shopping, keep children occupied, exercise (optional!!) and try to maintain some sense of normality. Maybe now the influencers in Dubai will be a bit more sympathetic now they have been directly impacted.

@gingergran thinking of you all ❤️🙏

Sending all my love and support ❤️ 🇮🇱
