On Saturday, Sincy Davis (name changed), a Malayali caregiver, was hurrying along the aisle of her building when air-raid sirens sounded at Sderot in the Southern District of Israel.
A few seconds after she entered the neighbouring building, where she was summoned by her employer, an elderly Israeli woman, the apartment building was hit by a rocket fired by the Hamas militant group from Gaza.
A voice clip sent by Sincy, accessed by The Hindu, reveals the grave situation in the south and parts of central Israel where bodies of Israelis could be seen on the street after the rocket attacks. This is one of the worst attacks in the recent history of Israel, she says, quoting her employer.
