Stefania Stavytska, 25, woke up early on October 7 with a nauseous feeling of deja vu.<\/p>\n

For the second time in 18 months, terror coursed through her entire body, triggered by the sound of screeching sirens.<\/p>\n

The video producer thought she\u2019d left the wrath of war behind when she left Kyiv after Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

But her short reprieve was violated by Hamas as the vile group launched more than a thousand missiles into Israel \u2013 including in Jaffa, the port city 68 km north of the Gaza Strip where Stefania lives.<\/p>\n

The terrorists shattered her illusion of normal life in Israel \u2013 even destroying a bar in Tel Aviv where she worked part-time.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t just bombs that added to a deep feeling of paranoia. She said she heard locals of Arabian descent cheering and rejoicing in the street as Hamas infiltrated the city.<\/p>\n

Stefania told the Kyiv Post: “It\u2019s strange to experience the outbreak of war for the second time in different countries when you are only 25.”<\/p>\n

At the time of Hamas’ attack, there were 14,000 Ukrainians listed as living in Israel \u2013 although that number has probably plummeted.<\/p>\n

Among these is also Anastasiia Moshkina, 29, an IT specialist living in Petah Tikva. Residents in the town now live in fear of strikes from the Gaza Strip in the south, and Lebanon in the north.<\/p>\n

Anastasia\u2019s neighbour is from Mariupol, a city which was besieged for three months before it fell into Russian hands in May 2022.<\/p>\n

“She\u2019s in shock,” Anastasiia said. “It\u2019s a horrific wave of terror.”<\/p>\n
