The recent wave of violence sweeping across Israel has left the Indian expatriate community in a state of heightened fear and desperation. Amid the chaos, the tales of families from Gujarat unveil the grim reality of living under constant threat, as India begins evacuating its citizens in small batches.
Zeevabhai Muliyasha, currently a resident of Tel Aviv, hailing from Rajkot’s Manavadar town, paints a worrying scenario, “We are in a highly scary situation, the kind very few people would have experienced in their life.” Zeevabhai, who has made Israel his home for several years, now finds himself along with his wife and two sons, aged 14 and 18, confined mostly to a bunker-like room, a common feature in Israeli homes. The incessant wailing of sirens sends them scurrying to this ‘safe-room’, a stark reminder of the danger.
The attack came after the end of Sukkot, a weeklong celebration to commemorate the harvest season.
