A Calgary man and his family who were unable to leave Israel in the early days of the Israel-Gaza war are now back in Canada.
David Wallach, his wife Zohar, their daughter and her boyfriend arrived in Tel Aviv just days before the Hamas terrorist group launched a surprise attack on Israel.
“We didn’t plan it. We planned a family trip,” Wallach said.
“Daily sirens, rocket attacks, they didn’t stop.”
They had two close encounters with rocket attacks. One just barely missed them on Wednesday in a hamlet north of Tel Aviv.
“We were sitting outside and all of a sudden, we heard this huge explosion and then we find out that it fell about 600 or 800 metres from us in a deserted field,” Wallach said.
“You hear the explosion, it’s scary, you have fear in you.”
