An Iranian ballistic missile strike in Beer Sheva killed four residents and wounded 30, just hours before a ceasefire was scheduled to take effect. Jessica Sardinas, a local psychologist, witnessed the aftermath and expressed skepticism about the ceasefire, reflecting on the precarious safety felt by Israelis during this intense conflict with Iran. This situation contrasts with the Gaza conflict, as missiles from Iran pose a more direct threat, impacting civilian lives in ways not previously experienced by many Israeli citizens, including those who emigrated recently.
Jessica Sardinas felt the blast 300 metres away in her safe room, where she had slept every night for the past 10 days. I never thought there would be a ceasefire, said Sardinas, a 27-year-old psychologist.
Scenes like that of the struck building in Beer Sheva, which had its top two floors crumpled, while shredded clothes and broken appliances hung off the sheared-open backside of the structure, were rare in Israel.
