MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) – A rescue operation to bring Jewish Americans stranded in Israel safely back to the United States has proven to be successful, with one flight carrying dozens of evacuees landing at Miami International Airport Thursday morning.
As Israel and Iran continue exchanging airstrikes, several organizations across the region have been assisting Americans caught in the crossfire.
It was a treacherous journey, with many uncertain of their fate as they sheltered themselves from bombs for days on end. Nonetheless, they remained persistent and decided to do what they could to flee the area, traveling across the Jordanian border to catch a flight to Florida.
“We couldn’t find another way back we signed up for different ways—evacuation, rescue ways—and it just didn’t work out for us so we had to go through Jordan. We had to get back home,” said South Florida resident Danielle Gozlan. “It was really hard, especially for the kids, hearing the sirens go off every so often. It was really hard.”
Danielle Gozlan and thousands of other Jewish Americans found themselves stuck in harm’s way as commercial flights in-and-out of Tel Aviv have been suspended as tensions grow between Israel and Iran.
“It was really hard especially for the kids hearing the sirens go off ever so often. They were just terrified,” she said.
Danielle and her family’s journey is like so many others.
Massive rescue operations are now underway as organizations work to bring Jewish Americans back to the United States.
