Israel: Today is my enlistment day to the military

(15.08.2022) When I was 10 years old, during the Gaza war in 2014, I was home alone when I heard the missile alarm.

I live in an old house that doesn’t have a shelter so I sat in the hallway and waited for the alarm to stop. It was the scariest moment of my life. Fortunately for me, I live in central Israel, and wasn’t in real danger, but as a child all I felt was great fear.
