00:00 Some of our countrymen were forced to go home today

00:03 because of the war between Israel and Hamas.

00:06 On the other hand, there are OFWs who are returning to Israel

00:10 to continue their work.

00:12 Live from Tel Aviv, Israel,

00:14 we have first news from JP Soriano.

00:17 JP.

00:19 Igan, Kapuso, it's 2 o'clock in the early morning here in Tel Aviv, Israel,

00:26 where we are now.

00:27 We arrived here yesterday, around 2 o'clock in the afternoon here in Israel.

00:34 At this time, it's quiet and peaceful,

00:37 and there's no noise, we didn't hear any siren.

00:40 We just arrived here in Israel.

00:43 But the people here are always alert.

00:47 And every house and house here is prepared to go to the bomb shelters

00:53 if necessary, but as I mentioned, it's quiet and peaceful here in Tel Aviv,

00:59 far from the situation in Gaza, on the border of southern Israel.

01:05 And it wasn't easy to come here with GMA Integrated News.

01:09 And here is our story.

01:11 At Dubai International Airport in the United Arab Emirates,

01:17 I met the OFWs, Alan and Jenny Ropes.

01:22 But their destination is not Dubai, but in Israel,

01:27 where they work as caregivers.

01:31 They are on vacation in the Philippines when the Hamas attack happened

01:35 in southern Israel, on the border of Gaza.

01:38 Their flights were canceled several times.

01:42 I can go back, I can go back.

01:45 That's what I thought at first.

01:47 Because the rockets and everything, we're used to it, it's still happening.

01:52 I'm really worried that I'll go back.

01:56 But when they said it's safe, then my employer called me,

02:00 he said it's okay, there's no problem here.

02:03 So I don't need to go back.

02:05 Because of course, their children need to go home.

02:08 At Dubai Airport, they were transferred several times by the counter

02:12 and asked for more documents.

02:15 Didn't you say you need more money?

02:17 Yes, what kind of money?

02:19 According to the aviation staff of several airlines in Dubai,

02:23 only one airline has a flight to Tel Aviv in Israel.

02:27 After several hours,

02:31 our countrymen's flight to Israel continued

02:35 with the GMA Integrated News.

02:38 On the transit bus to the airport,

02:42 we accompanied several Israelis who are already living abroad

02:46 to return to Israel

02:48 to accompany their countrymen in their most needed time.

02:52 When we arrived at Ben Gurion Airport,

03:01 our team went through multiple screenings before leaving.

03:05 There were only a few passengers.

03:07 If some OFWs like Alan and Jenny Ropes will return to Israel,

03:12 the third batch of Filipinos will return to the Philippines

03:17 with the repatriation efforts of the Philippine government.

03:21 Maybe they will visit the Philippines.

03:24 One day we have to come.

03:26 With the Filipinos returning,

03:28 Jackie Lu is taking care of her baby who was adopted in Israel.

03:32 It's good that our place is not affected.

03:37 But of course, it's still scary

03:41 because there are terrorists who entered Israel.

03:45 I'm afraid for my baby's safety.

03:48 That's why I decided to repatriate the Filipino.

03:52 She was adopted by her grandchildren.

03:56 She gave her heart and she was part of the family.

04:01 She took care of my grandfather and my grandmother.

04:06 They passed away.

04:08 But we have Amara.

04:11 It's very emotional for us.

04:16 It's hard. But you understand why she decided to leave?

04:20 Of course.

04:22 She's going home.

04:28 If there are people who are separated,

04:31 there are also people who are reunited.

04:33 Like this Israeli family who are reunited with their children.

04:38 When we arrived, we felt that their parents stayed here

04:41 because they had to help out with the war.

04:44 So it was a long time.

04:47 We're in Tel Aviv.

04:50 In our trip to Tel Aviv,

04:53 which was bombed by Hamas several times,

04:55 rockets were dropped.

04:57 It was quiet and peaceful.

04:59 The establishments were open.

05:01 But according to the people here,

05:03 few people went out.

05:05 And some had to provide services to the Israeli Defense Force.

05:10 Here in Tel Aviv,

05:12 the sentiment of most Israelis is strong

05:15 to find their countrymen who were killed by Hamas.

05:19 Some of their children even went abroad.

05:22 There are booths that are given yellow ribbons

05:25 that symbolize the unity of the people here

05:28 in finding the victims of Hamas.

05:32 And one of the requirements for Israeli nationals here,

05:43 especially the children,

05:44 is to serve in their military.

05:47 And many Israeli nationals are serving now.

05:50 They're on the front line now.

05:52 And most of them are deployed

05:54 in Gaza and in the operations of Israel

06:00 in their various borders.

06:02 And the repatriated people in our country,

06:06 who are in the 25,

06:07 have been able to go home or arrive in the Philippines this afternoon.

06:11 They have time in the Philippines.

06:13 And according to the Philippine Embassy,

06:14 they may be able to add more.

06:16 But really,

06:17 Kapuso, there are about 30,000 Filipinos here in Israel

06:21 and more of them still want to stay here and work.

06:26 And that's the latest from Tel Aviv, Israel.

06:29 And for GMA Integrated News,

06:31 back to you, Igan.

06:33 Thank you very much.

06:34 Take care, JP Soriano.
