“We are preparing for a long war”recognize Dalmaan Argentinian who lived 8 years ago in Israel. Married to an Israeli and mother of three children, the professional florist goes through dramatic hours due to an imminent Palestinian attack in her city, Rishon LeZion.
“We are experiencing a very difficult moment, of tension, there are no classes, everything is stopped. Supermarkets can’t keep up. We have to buy reserves for 72 hours, because they say they are going to cut off the electricity. Likewise, they advanced that the Northern Islamic Jihad is preparing an attack“, he said in dialogue with Ambit.
The permanent state of alert, a constant in the Israeli population
The deafening noise of sirens modifies the usual rhythm of the city. The state of alert in the population is now part of daily life, and the panic of suffering the same attacks that the inhabitants of the towns near Loop It is latent.
Dalma He reviewed chronologically what he had experienced since Saturday, when the first attack was perpetrated, and his stomach turned.
“The sirens are heard every day, three times; My children are scared, they are playing outside and when they hear them, they run inside. They immediately go to the shelter, something that not everyone has. They sleep there at night, they no longer do it in their room. We have a minute and a half to get to the shelter,” she indicated.
“On Saturday at 6:30 the siren sounded, no one expected it. It was surprising, a massacre. The group Hamas He decided to enter with a mass of terrorists and eliminate everyone who opposed him. They entered more than 20 private neighborhoods, simply to liquidate everyone. With everything they could, they did the impossible to kill people; children, babies, older adults, they took hostages. A disaster,” she said, immersed in absolute sadness.
And he remarked: “They entered a police station in the south of Sderot and they liquidated all the police, they had everything prepared so that there were no security forces. They fell by surprise at a party, which everyone saw on television and social networks, and killed 270 people For one, that was the worst. “Afterwards, they continued through the surrounding neighborhoods, and attacked the people who wanted to hide and protect themselves.”
On the other hand, he explained that “the names of those kidnapped are being made known, the lists are already in the hospitals. For example, I work at Municipality and the son of one of my colleagues appeared, but on the contrary, another girl who works in a shopping mall, who I also have as a contact, disappeared. It’s all very small, you meet people who disappear or have been killed and you become paralyzed.”
Practicing his profession in the most terrible moment in the country
Being a florist, Dalma took the opportunity to collaborate with the Municipality of his city, and made funeral wreaths for the different funeral homes.
“It is very difficult to do this work, but from my place I want to collaborate with the hundreds of families who lost their loved ones. To this day, murdered bodies are found, babies and children with their heads cut off, it is inhuman, a hatred that cannot be described. Not to mention the entire families they erased. They killed parents, left their children locked in a shelter, without food or milk. It was tremendous,” he stated.
And he shared that “now there are moments of great solidarity, making collections for soldiers who are on duty 24 hours a day taking care of us, looking for terrorists, because they continue to kill and commit inhuman crimes. There are no words to describe it. Our daily life involves getting up and seeing how many dead people appear.”

Finally, the young man shared the latent terror with which citizens live, by not knowing if they will encounter Palestinian terrorists.
“It is that many have entered and hundreds have not yet been found, and They are willing to get out of there.. And that is our only problem, we don’t know what we may encounter.”
