Sally, a dual American-Israeli citizen who had previously served in the IDF as a sniper, was needed in Israel to fight Hamas.⁠ ⁠ Everything Sally had to do to prepare ran through his head: tell his girlfriend; notify his boss; arrange for someone to watch his house and his rescue pitbull, Athena; connect with his commanding officer in Israel; procure the appropriate gear; and, perhaps most daunting, find a way to get from the bright lights of Sin City to a war zone in the Middle East.⁠ ⁠ “Immediately some stress kicked in: how am I going to handle the logistics?” Sally said Wednesday from Las Vegas, where he was still trying to coordinate travel and was about to hop on a call with his commander. “I will do what’s necessary to protect my other home.”⁠ ⁠ Israel has called up hundreds of thousands of reservists in its response to attacks by Hamas, which the U.S. and other countries deem a terrorist organization. Among them are many Israelis in the U.S.—including dual-American citizens like Sally, who is an officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department—and others with family in Israel.⁠ ⁠ Military service is compulsory for eligible men and women in Israel at age 18, with soldiers assigned to reserve units after.⁠ ⁠ Elan Carr, chief executive of the nonprofit Israeli-American Council, said he knows of Israeli-Americans who have received draft orders and of others who expect to get them soon and are returning to Israel on emergency flights. “I will tell you that not one—not one of them—regrets going,” Carr said.⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷: @rondachurchill for @wsjphotos」10月14日 1時01分
