A Brazilian expatriate, Jacob Serruya, is experiencing significant disruptions to life in Israel due to the ongoing conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran. Living in Nahariya, which is close to the Lebanese border, Serruya reports that daily activities have come to a standstill as essential services are the only ones operating amidst high alert and bombardments. The atmosphere is one of tension and fear, making it almost impossible for residents to rest or sleep properly.

Serruya details how since the recent outbreak of hostilities on Saturday, the country has faced severe restrictions. Public transport has been suspended, and people are advised against all travel, contributing to an almost complete halt of regular life. Various businesses have closed, with only essentials remaining operational, which reflects the grim reality of living under such threats.

He notes that while there were previous periods of relative calm before this escalation, this situation feels markedly different, being far more serious. Serruya expresses concern that the conflicts could morph into a wider regional war, leaving many residents, including himself, uncertain about the future and the potential for further violence.
