Description
A group from the Rock Church left Israel Saturday on one of the last flights, just as the bombing started.
"There were a few people sitting in front of my wife and I on their phones, you can still be on your phones for a few minutes, and they’re getting calls saying 'Israel's being attacked, Israel is being bombed' and slowly that word is getting out on the airplane," said Pastor Travis Gibson of The Rock Church.
"As soon as we took off, our pilot took a hard right turn and we all looked at each other thinking 'What was the point of that? Why so aggressive?' As we looked out the window one of the people from the church in our group saw smoke coming off the ground."
Pastor Gibson said they later realized rockets had hit about 4 miles away from them.
