    It is just crazy scenes overseas at the moment. The surprise attack on Israel, the footage of civilians being taken hostage on the back of trucks. The brutal murders.It's terrifying to watch. And the politics of it all is complex.Stories of war and conflict can feel distant and foreign and it's easy to turn away and scroll on by. Do that if you need.But Ally has family in Israel. Her aunt and uncle's car was hit by a missile whilst they were in their home in Ashkelon on Sunday night. They immediately evacuated and have joined her cousin Omri who lives north of Tel Aviv and he joined us on breakfast this morning for an update on how things are on the ground in Israel. Support the show, a product of Hope Media: https://hope1032.com.au/donate/2211A-pod/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
