Joseph and Sandra Greenberg flew to Israel to visit family and to celebrate the Jewish holiday. That celebration quickly turned to devastation.
"It's a very unsettling situation," said Joseph Greenberg who spoke to Eyewitness News via Zoom from Jerusalem.
"The streets are kind of like a ghost town. It's very empty. There's very few people walking around," said Sandra. "We're just taking it day by day right now because it's unsettling and it's scary. It's very scary out there," she said. "We heard sirens which is a warning to run to a shelter," said Joseph. "You have 90 seconds from hearing siren sounds to get a shelter, that's the estimated time and so there were 4 of 5 of those on Saturday. It's been quiet until today until we had a couple of siren warnings," he said.
"They have more of the power and authority to do it than our non for profits," said Jason Shames, CEO of Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey. "You saw Poland sent a bunch of military planes to retrieve its citizens yesterday, so that's what it's going to take.""There's a lot of uncertainty and a lot of tension," said Sandra.
