Residents describe drone impact in Nahariya apartment building

Residents described the moment a drone fired from Lebanon hit their high-rise building, damaging two apartments. There were no injuries.

“It was very scary,” says Aviel Avshalom, 9, who was in school when the drone hit.

Despite the mayor’s announcement to parents not to pick up their children, his mother, Alina Avshalom, who lives in the neighborhood, says she hurried to pick up Aviel and her daughter, Miel, from school.

“I don’t have a car and I had to think twice but I didn’t want to leave the kids there,” she says.

Next to the driveway of the damaged building stands Dr. Maron Haj, a thoracic surgeon at Galilee Medical Center, who says that he was at work in the hospital when he heard the building was hit.

“Everything in our apartment was ruined,” he says. “We can’t live there. We have to figure out what to do next.”
