00:00Yesterday we wanted to go visit the old city, but the Israeli police were at the Damascus gate.
00:15Reservations have already been set, so hopefully we can gain entrance.
00:19We expected Houthis to be sending missiles to Israel, because they've been doing that
00:31for some time now.
00:32We did see Iron Dome intercept Houthi missiles down in the Dead Sea.
00:38And we were still okay with that coming here, planning our visit, but again, we didn't expect
00:44Israel to attack Iran, which is a completely different level of escalation.
00:50So that is obviously not, doesn't make us feel any more comfortable.
00:58A new experience for me personally, being in America, and it is scary to hear missiles being
01:07intercepted, to feel the concussive blast even though it's up in the sky, and to have to
01:14take your son, and your father, and go down to a bomb shelter, which is just something
01:21you don't even have to consider in America, at least not since the 60s.
01:27So it makes me feel uneasy.
01:30I'm very anxious to get back home.
01:32We're looking for alternative places this day, because it may be a lengthy one.
01:37And so, looking for like kitchenettes, some place to kind of reduce some of our expenses.
01:44And also checking on, of course, flight schedules, perhaps out of Jordan, if possible, and because
01:51it may be a while before Israeli airports open up.
01:56We're looking for alternative places.
02:08We're looking for a solution.
02:15If you want to go to this place, we're looking for a solution.
02:22so i'm from london and i'm here because my daughter lives here and i was coming for a week
02:34to see her and other family and within two days of being here israel attacked around
02:42so now i'm stuck here with my daughter and i really i don't want to leave until her boyfriend
02:48is back with her and i can't leave because there's no flights and at the moment it's surreal but we
02:55feel very safe the hotel has a shelter um when we're in the shelter we haven't experienced any
03:02noise it's obviously terrible what's happening with the casualties but for me personally at the
03:09moment i feel better being here than in london watching it all on the news knowing my daughter
03:16is here so for now we're good
03:44you
03:46you
