Jerusalem – 2 October 2024

2. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Sasson Mordehai, resident:
"I’m telling you, I was afraid, the children, the grandchildren. Every minute you call them, it was scary. But thank God, the creator of the world, we had those miracles, thank God. We were in the reinforced room, we read the Psalms for all the people of Israel."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Gila Levitan, resident:
"So last night I was a bit afraid because my parents have just arrived here from Australia for the Hagim (in Hebrew, holidays) and so I felt responsible for their safety. But because we passed over the attack in April, I knew we’d get over this one as well. And as long as we followed the Home (front) command’s instructions and to be in the safe room, as we did, then I knew it would pass as well. But all my friends in Australia and from overseas I felt that they were more afraid because they kept on sending messages, ‘Are you OK? Are you OK? Are you OK?’ But, we were OK, so thank goodness "Tsahal" (the IDF in Hebrew) saved us. And America."

7. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Lee Dadon, resident:
"It was really hard for me, I feel that in Jerusalem I feel terribly disconnected from the situation because we really are less used to all the alarms and missiles that we are having now. But I felt something in this as if in all of Israel, everyone is experiencing, together, some kind of brotherhood that exists between all of us. I found myself in a protected space with people that I don’t know at all, we all talked and I think that I suddenly really felt the brotherhood that exists between us, as if despite all the divisions and protests and everything we will always be very united and this is something that unfortunately characterizes our country."
8. People at market
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Yossi Eliyahu, resident:
"Well, it was scary, especially the children and the kids start crying, but we passed it. It’s not the first time, I hope this is the last time, and I hope that Israel will react very soon and strong."

11. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Shoshana Grady, resident:
"No, we were not afraid, there’s someone from above that is watching over us. God is guarding the people of Israel, we have nothing to fear."

STORYLINE:
Jerusalem residents were shopping for their last groceries ahead of the Jewish New Year that starts on Wednesday, a day after Iran fired a barrage of missiles at Israel.
Shoppers said they were afraid during the Iranian missile attack on Tuesday evening but trusted the Israeli army.
The Middle East moved closer to a long-feared regional war the day after Iran’s missile launch and Israel said it began limited ground incursions into Lebanon targeting the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia.
Iran launched at least 180 missiles at Israel, though Israeli authorities said there were no injuries and scattered damage and fires from falling shrapnel.
Judaism’s High Holy Days annually provide an emotional mix of celebration, introspection and atonement for Jews worldwide.
Added to the current tensions, this year, for many, the emotions will be extraordinarily powerful, given that the midpoint of the 10 days spanning Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is October 7.
That’s the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack that killed 1,200 Israelis and triggered the still-ongoing war in Gaza.
