Looking at Tel Aviv: – “Nobody has slept here since June 13”

The tents in the underground garages and air -drunk planks are packaged, the cafés in Tel Aviv are again well visited, the usual traffic jams roll through the streets and the airport of Ben Gurion is back in operation. The Israelis are practiced in finding back to normal life-even after the 12-day war with Iran. Although the war against the terrorist organization Hamas continues in the Gaza Strip.

Under the appearance of normality, many who have experienced in recent weeks now try to process. In some, the psyche has literally flown to the cosmos, says an eyewitness of the “crown”. The native Moscow Roman Schigun (32) moved to Israel in 2022 and today lives in Tel Aviv. “Nobody has slept in Israel since 13 June – not only because of the shock, but because people were constantly awakened by Iranian ballistic missiles, the air alarm and the warnings that arrive on the mobile phone,” he says.

Here novel captured Iran’s attacks on video:

Unusual witness
Roman is relatively calm in his apartment during the conversation, and every now and then a smile can even be cheerful. The stubborn historian who had served in the Russian army for a year never visited the Air -Raid Shelter. In short, people behaved very disciplined – as soon as Sirens cried, everyone met the bunkers. “I am the only one who goes on the street to look at the attacks, but that is a terrible face,” admits the 32-year-old in conversation.

“Like in a disaster film”
Roman experienced the first Iranian rocket attack on the street. “I will never forget the moment when it has become so clear for a few seconds in the middle of the night. To make it even worse, the peculiarity of human perception is added – the impression arises that” everything is directly for you “.

A few rockets have actually been hit near Roman: “There it tingles throughout the body, you feel a hot wind for a second. But by far the most terrible is this incredibly loud bang.”
