Israelis of all backgrounds, including secular teens, yeshiva boys, worried mothers, and Christian pilgrims, lined up for hours at Jerusalem's Pais Arena stadium to donate blood at a Magen David Adom blood drive. The drive aimed to treat the victims of the recent Hamas terrorist attacks, which resulted in the deaths of over 900 Israelis and injured thousands more. The spacious venue allowed for efficient processing of donors, with 150 MDA staff and volunteers on hand. Thousands of units of blood have been donated across the country, with the blood bank ensuring a steady supply for hospitals. The blood drive was organized in cooperation with the organization Safeguarding Our Home, which has been involved in anti-government protests.

Airlines Suspend Tel Aviv Flights Amid Israel Attacks

Major airlines, including American Airlines, Air France, Lufthansa, Emirates, and Ryanair, canceled dozens of flights to and from Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport after Hamas launched a large-scale attack, leaving holiday tourists stranded in Israel and Israelis abroad scrambling to return home. However, commercial air links with Israel's second international airport in Eilat were not affected. Israeli flag carrier El Al continued its Tel Aviv flights, but some flights operated by foreign partners were canceled. Israelis trying to return home expressed frustration as flights were delayed or canceled, while Israir and Arkia Airlines organized rescue flights. The flight cancellations occurred amid ongoing combat between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists, with rocket barrages targeting areas around Tel Aviv, including close to the airport.
