When Iranian missiles struck central Israel last summer, neighborhoods in and around Tel Aviv were shaken to their core. Families had only seconds to react as sirens wailed. Residents of one apartment complex rushed toward their shared bomb shelter, expecting protection. Instead, they found darkness, crumbling stairs, mold-filled air, and broken lighting.
The building houses dozens of families, including elderly residents who struggled to descend the damaged steps. In the middle of a missile barrage, they were left without reliable protection. Though there is currently a pause in direct fighting with Iran, communities across central Israel know how quickly that can change. After months and years of war with Iran and its terror proxies, preparedness remains essential.
Because of compassionate friends like you, CBN Israel acted swiftly. Partnering with Tenufa baKehila, also known as Building Hope, urgent repairs began. Under the leadership of Gabi Nachmani, the team rebuilt the stairs, installed proper lighting, reinforced railings, and cleared dangerous mold from the shelter. What was once unsafe is now a clean, secure refuge where families can gather with confidence if sirens sound again.
“We want every person to feel safe,” Gabi shared. “Families should be able to enter a shelter and know they are protected.”
One daughter of an elderly resident expressed her gratitude. “My father could not get into the shelter before. Now with the safe steps and railing, he can reach it without fear. Thank you for caring so much.”
Even during a temporary lull in fighting, your generosity ensures communities are ready should attacks resume. Thank you for helping strengthen neighborhoods in central Israel and restore peace of mind to families who have endured so much.
