"At 6 o'clock in the morning of the 7th, I was woken up by the sound of the siren, I didn't know what happened, I got up and went to the roof, the alarm sounded in the sky, I casually took a video to tell my husband who was traveling abroad, he said it was an air raid siren, let me take my children to hide in the safe house." Israeli theater producer Yu Jingyi recalled.
Yu Jingyi lives in Tel Aviv, a city in central Israel, where he lived for 7 years. Recalling the experience of the outbreak of the conflict on the 7th, Yu Jingyi said that the conflict came by surprise, and everyone did not recover from the shock for a long time, "I remember that after the alarm ended, I heard the sound of bombing in the distance, and after half an hour, the siren and bombing sound continued to sound repeatedly. "I don't know how this day passed. My Israeli colleague called me to ask if I needed to move to their house, and my family repeatedly told me not to go out. She said.
The picture shows that on October 11, local time, an explosion occurred over the seaport of Gaza City, filling with smoke. In Israel, new houses have separate safe houses, while older buildings generally have public anti-aircraft shelters for residents to take refuge in times of war. Yu Jingyi hurriedly took the child to hide in the safe house, "When I rushed to the basement, I took a bottle of water by the way, and when I passed the living room, I dragged a lazy bean bag sofa into the safe house, I don't know how long I want to stay, I want the children to sit more comfortable." Yu Jingyi said that at present, the water, electricity and network at home have not been affected, and the children do not have to go to school, but only use the Internet classes at home. After receiving the notice to stock up on food, she went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities in case of emergency. "However, my work plans were disrupted. My drama was performed in Hangzhou on the 13th, but due to flight cancellations, it was eventually postponed, and my husband's travel agency business was forced to press the pause button, and many Chinese tourists canceled their trips to Israel. Yu Jingyi said that at present, cities in central and northern Israel are relatively safe, but friends living in the southern region have to run many times a night to take refuge in bomb shelters. Overseas Chinese living in Israel have also set up WeChat groups, where they will exchange the latest information in a timely manner, comfort and encourage each other. At the moment, everyone's mood is stable.

According to Mr. Li, the safe house connects the two nearby buildings and is equipped with basic facilities such as toilets. Inside the safe house, the neighbors quickly became acquainted, no matter how hurried they were, they would bring their children's school bags and their favorite toys, and everyone was doing their best to eliminate the fear and anxiety in the children's eyes, which touched me very much. ”
