A 26-year-old Israeli graduate exchange student's first-ever trip to San Francisco took a dark turn after violence erupted in his homeland.
SAN FRANCISCO â Yuval Appelboim shared photos of a bomb shelter about 20 miles outside the Gaza Strip, where his sister and his nephews hid for long periods of time. Their father has been called up to fight with the Israel Defense Forces or IDF. 'My family are in the bomb shelter, no electricity, some of them were locked in the Gaza Strip outskirts just fearing for their lives, having no way to go even to the bathroom,' he said.
We have had missile attacks for 21 years; it's not every day. It's not every hour, we live a normal life, like here in the US,' he said. 'But this is something we've never had before as we have terrorists crossing the border, killing hundreds of civilians.'The death toll on both sides has soared to more than 1,500 with at least 11 Americans among the dead. Israel has made it clear it wants vengeance. In the coming days, it is expected to launch a ground attack into Gaza.
