“This was always the nightmare. We told ourselves that one day, the terrorists will come inside here,” said Jehan Berman, 42, in the small community of Avshalom near Gaza. A fortified border fence, equipped with sophisticated sensors, proved no match for the heavy explosives unleashed by Hamas militants as they burst into Israel.
News of the invasion, with its haunting echoes of the 1973 Mideast War, sent millions of Israelis rushing to bomb shelters. Some in hard-hit communities were evacuated to protected spaces further north. “I’ve lived here for so long that I know what to do within 15 seconds of hearing an alarm,” she said. “But today was different. It was the hardest day of my life.”
Israeli civilians were led into Gaza, crammed into the back of a pick-up lorry with their heads down and hands tied.
