Israelis face daily fears amid missile attacks as conflict with Iran escalates
TEL AVIV — On Thursday, Jimmy, a volunteer paramedic and one of the first respondents on site during the 7 October Hamas attack, rushed to action when a series of sirens sounded across Holon, a city south of Tel Aviv. "When the sirens sound, first respondents have to get into their vehicles and wait for the calls from the control hub to start coming in," Jimmy, a 36-year-old Arab-Israeli, who grew up in Jordan and East Jerusalem, told Euronews. "As we headed to the impacted site, I realised that we were nearing my building. When we got there, I discovered that yes — it was my building which had been destroyed by a missile." "I had only moved in the day before, because the apartment I had been living in for four years in Revohot — south of Tel Aviv — was destroyed by an Iranian missile earlier this week," explained Jimmy. "All the remaining clothes I own are ruined, as is the few bits of furniture I had left." "I've been through — and seen — a lot in the last few years, but with time I have learned to disconnect my feelings, because otherwise I would just sit and cry at this never-ending war," said Jimmy, who runs a delivery business, alongside his volunteering activities. "The hardest part for me is that I have an eight-month-old son who I haven't seen for months now, because my wife and he are in Eilat, in the south of Israel, where it's much safer than here." "The thing is, I have to keep working when I can, and I also feel that I am needed as a volunteer," added Jimmy. Although the country has been on standby since Wednesday — the sixth day of Israel and Iran's open conflict — restrictions on civilians were eased, and workplace activities, as well as small gatherings, were allowed to resume. Despite this, schools remain shut and the streets are empty. For many in Israel, raising children in this climate is tough. "I wouldn't be so worried if I didn't have her", 30-year-old Emma from the US told Euronews. She lives in Jaffa in southern Tel Aviv, with her husband and their 10-month-old son. "We don't have a bomb shelter in our building because we live in an Arab neighborhood, my husband is an Arab Israeli. Many of the affordable apartments in Israel are not equipped, so at night we take our baby and go sleep at my mother-in-law's house," Emma told Euronews. For Emma, there is a clear reason that Israel finds itself in this situation. "I think my morale is better than most Israelis' and that's because I don't believe that what the government is doing is right — so I understand why we are in this position." Nitzan, 34, is a tech entrepreneur and father-to-be who usually resides in Tel Aviv. But since Israel's escalating conflict with Iran, he and his wife have relocated to Haifa, in the north of the country, to stay with her family. 'The noises we are hearing from the shelter are very different to those we hear when there are missiles fired from Hamas or by Hezbollah. Even with the Iron Dome, it sounds like a truck is going through a tunnel right over your head," Nitzan told Euronews. Many in Israel fear being caught out by a missile when they are out doing essential things like heading to the shops or driving to pick up supplies, as the conflict remains particularly hard on civilians. According to health officials, some 24 Israelis were killed by Iranian rocket salvos in the first week of the conflict, while more than 2,400 have received medical treatment for injuries. All were civilians. Meanwhile, Iranian rights groups based abroad have reported that at least 657 people were killed in Iran by Thursday. "If you are out, the instructions are to just lay on the ground with your hands above your head — but I don't think that really does much. On the evening of Iran's first attack, we were driving to Haifa and we saw the sky light up with so many missiles." "We weren't sure whether to stop because there are alarms all over the country, and you don't know if it's for the area. If it's safer to go on, or to stop on the side of the road," added Nitzan. As a business owner, Nitzan manages his team remotely, despite workplace restrictions having been lifted. "I run a business of 12 people. Every morning I get worried calls from my colleagues, who tell me they have children who are scared because of a nearby missile or something, it's hard for them to focus", explained Nitzan. "I feel misunderstood by people living in Europe. Israel escalated the conflict because Iran has repeatedly stated they want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth." "However, the success of this open conflict will of course be measured by whether this fighting between Israel and Iran continues long-term", concluded Nitzan. Oriella, a teacher who lives in Tel Aviv, told Euronews that she feels "exhausted." "There are no nights, your head is filled with worries and insecurities, because you are mentally exhausted, because we have been at war for years," she said. "In my apartment block we have a shelter, people share small talk, but they don't really want to speak — they are tired of having to converse in the middle of the night. They want to sleep. The children in the shelter are either chatting or crying", said Oriella, 59. "I don't like wars, I believe in diplomatic solutions — I think that is what we should be working towards with Iran. People are experiencing so much suffering and for what? To have wars again, and again, and again," sighed Oriella. 35-year-old Zohran lives in Tel Aviv and works in the nightlife industry. However, his work has been placed on hold, and he is now waiting to see whether he will receive any financial compensation from the government, he explained. "I would say I am used to having my life on hold", Zohran told Euronews. Not having a shelter in his building is a major worry, he added. "Two minutes away from my flat there is an underground parking lot. So I run there, with many other people." "Although I am a strong opponent of Netanyahu, with this war against Iran's regime, most of us are with the government. This is a war with a country, where the leaders say they want to destroy us", concluded Zohran. — Euronews

A US appeals court has allowed President Donald Trump to maintain control of the National Guard in Los Angeles, following a challenge to their deployment by the state's governor. Trump called in the troops following protests over immigration raids. The decision halts a ruling from a lower court judge who found the president acted illegally in doing so. The National Guard deployment was the first by a US president without the governor's permission since 1965. In its decision, a three-judge panel on the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously concluded it was likely Trump lawfully exercised his authority in federalising control of the guard. It said that while presidents don't have unfettered power to seize control of a state's guard, the Trump administration had presented enough evidence to show it had a defensible rationale for doing so, citing violent acts by protesters. 'The undisputed facts demonstrate that before the deployment of the National Guard, protesters 'pinned down' several federal officers and threw 'concrete chunks, bottles of liquid, and other objects' at the officers," the court wrote in an explanation of its decision. "Protesters also damaged federal buildings and caused the closure of at least one federal building. And a federal van was attacked by protesters who smashed in the van's windows," the court added. "The federal government's interest in preventing incidents like these is significant.' It also found that even if the federal government failed to notify California Governor Gavin Newsom before federalising the National Guard as required by law, he had no power to veto the president's order. Trump celebrated the decision on his Truth Social platform, calling it a 'big win.' He wrote that 'all over the United States, if our cities, and our people, need protection, we are the ones to give it to them should state and local police be unable, for whatever reason, to get the job done.' Newsom issued a statement expressing disappointment that the court is allowing Trump to retain control of the National Guard. But he also welcomed one aspect of the decision. 'The court rightly rejected Trump's claim that he can do whatever he wants with the National Guard and not have to explain himself to a court," Newsom said. " The president is not a king and is not above the law. We will press forward with our challenge to President Trump's authoritarian use of US military soldiers against citizens.' The court case could have broader implications on the president's power to deploy soldiers within the US after Trump directed immigration officials to prioritise deportations from other Democratic-run cities. Trump argued that the troops were necessary to restore order. Newsom said the move inflamed tensions, usurped local authority and wasted resources. The protests have since appeared to be winding down.

'Cooling' mattress and pillows leaves shoppers 'sleeping like a dream'
The right bedding can make the world of difference when it's super hot While the hot weather can be lovely while sunbathing, it's less comfortable when it's time to go to bed. Tossing and turning in sweaty bedsheets is a cruel reality of summer nights, but the right bedding can make the world of difference for a comfortable night's sleep. Until Monday, shoppers can save up to 20% on Emma's range of cooling mattresses, pillows and more, making it easier to get a good night's sleep in the heat. There are loads of products in the sale from duvets to pillows, mattresses to sheets, and plenty are designed to help buyers keep cool in the summer. For example, the Emma Hybrid Thermosync Mattress is now £655.20 down from £819 for a double size. It's designed with ThermoSync technology which helps to regulate body temperature, and it also absorbs motion on the mattress so fidgeting partners won't interrupt precious sleep. The mattress is also available in UK single for £415.20 down from £519, small double for £580.80 down from £726, king size for £734.40 down from £918, or super king for £840 down from £1,050. Shoppers can also save on the Emma Premium Foam Pillows, available either individually for £65.60 down from £82 or as a bundle of two for £123 down from £164. These pillows are temperature regulating with adjustable layers so users can change the height, with support for all sleeping positions. If Emma's range isn't quite right for shoppers, they could take a look at the TEMPUR ONE SmartCool™ Mattress which is currently £999 at Dreams. This one's available in firm or medium, is made from memory foam, and has a SmartCool™ cover that reduces heat throughout the night. Alternatively, there's the Luff Mayfair Cooling Gel Bamboo Pillow for £69.99 at Laud, which has a cooling pad, is naturally antibacterial, and is nice and firm. However, Emma shoppers have shared how pleased they are with their purchases. One said: "Excellent mattress well worth every penny. Never have I slept as well." Another said: "This mattress is very comfortable with the perfect level of support." A third said of an Emma pillow: "Comfortable, not too big or too small, decent size sideways, very airy and comfortable, love it." However, another mattress buyer said: "OK but not as firm as I thought it would be for the money." A separate reviewer added: "So so happy with my new mattress and pillows. Sleeping like a dream So happy." However, for big savings on a range that promotes a cool sleeping experience, the Emma sale is worth a look.
