On Sunday, Global News interviewed Olivier Marceau, a resident of Be’er Sheva in southern Israel, approximately 41 kilometers from Gaza. Marceau recounted experiencing rockets landing near his apartment building on Saturday. He described the constant sirens and the need to take shelter, seeing rockets hitting nearby and the ensuing smoke.
Marceau also expressed concerns about kidnapping and mentioned acquaintances who have been killed or are missing. The situation has left him feeling scared and unsure of what to expect.
