The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is escalating. International observers warn of the possibility of a full-scale war. The shelling of recent days has become a nightmare for the locals.

“Over the last 6 hours there have been 7 or XNUMX alarms - a loud siren that drowns out all sounds. This means that you have about a minute to find the nearest shelter and barricade yourself in it,” Artemy laments.

“The first alarm sounded yesterday (May 12) at about 21:00. Rockets are flying from the south. They fly in an arc. They look like shooting stars. They fly very fast: if you see them in the air, it means that you have little time to run and hide somewhere,” continues the Ukrainian. “It’s very unpleasant to sit in your apartment and hear explosions outside your window.”

On TV, Israelis are told how to properly protect themselves during the bombing.

“First you need to close the door, then the windows. After this, you should sit as far as possible from the windows and wait,” he explains.

“There are bunkers and bomb shelters in almost every building in Israel. In modern apartments there are such bomb shelters in one of the rooms. These rooms can be distinguished by special metal doors. They are very thick, they close hermetically and very tightly,” says the Ukrainian. — Special metal casings are installed on the windows, which also close tightly to protect against direct missile hits. The walls in such a room do not allow any signals to pass through and should protect against a rocket explosion.”

“Among other things, these rooms have a special ventilation system that, in the event of a fire or chemical attack, can be turned on and will filter all the air entering the room,” he explains.

Cancellation of flights

Due to the fact that the airport in Tel Aviv has become one of the targets of rocket attacks by Palestinian militants, American airlines are canceling their flights, writes Voice of America.

For example, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta reported the suspension of flights until at least Thursday (May 13), and in the case of United Airlines, until Saturday (May 15).
