War between Israel and Hamas: life in slow motion in Tel Aviv
War between Israel and Hamas: life in slow motion in Tel Aviv – (France 2)
Usually nicknamed the city that never sleeps, Tel Aviv lives in anxiety. Despite everything, the population is trying to return to normal life.
Usually, the beach in Tel Aviv (Israel) is crowded, but on Sunday October 29, the beach was completely deserted since the numerous Hamas attacks on October 7. “Tel Aviv usually recovers quickly. But this is hard. We no longer see joy or happiness”, says a local resident. The pall of sadness seems to cover the city. “You still have the images of this drama in your head”continues a city dweller.
Not in the party spirit
The market sees only a few people. Many residents feel abandoned, and do not see their daily lives in the same way. In a French bakery chain, the doors are open to volunteers. They prepare meals for the soldiers. “Going to a restaurant is something that is no longer done at the moment”, notes a woman. In trendy neighborhoods, almost everything is closed. No one is in the party spirit anymore.
