On the way to Ashkelon, a region near the north of the Gaza Strip, the train ride was too quiet, it even seemed like there was no one else except the conductor and conductors. In Tel Aviv, the station was practically deserted.
There were only a few groups of soldiers here, specifically four 19-year-olds who joined the Israeli army last August. Visibly nervous, but at the same time excited to return home for the day off. They have only been in uniform for a very short time and therefore should not be deployed to combat zones.
On the streets of Israel, public places are empty and public transportation runs practically empty. On the other hand, there are many police cars with flags, as if it were a soccer match. In construction or construction zones, workers are not working and cranes have been stopped since Saturday, the day Hamas’ attack on Israel began.
During this train ride there were no signs of launch. rockets. The sirens sound in very limited areas, in places where an attack is expected.
People carry their cell phones in their hands to follow all the events of this conflict. Sometimes ‘beeps’ are heard, a small digital siren from a mobile application used by citizens to receive security alerts. During the early hours of the morning there were security alerts due to suspected infiltrations in this Israeli area near the border and, from time to time, the sound of at least one siren is heard, indicating a warning signal.
The areas closest to the border are currently being evacuated, where Israel’s ground offensive against the Gaza Strip could advance.
