Project Spotlight: Mobile Bomb Shelters

The Fellowship  |  June 25, 2025

With escalating threats and recent missile attacks from Iran, The Fellowship has taken immediate action to protect Israeli families. On June 22, 2025, five new mobile bomb shelters—equipped with reinforced steel doors—were installed in central Israel, and five had been installed the week prior in the Haifa area. These shelters were placed in neighborhoods where residents previously had to run long distances to find safety during rocket fire.

These communities, though currently experiencing a ceasefire, remain vulnerable. And your support and the placement of bomb shelters reassures the Jewish people that they have somewhere to take cover when missiles strike… just ask Liat…

“A Game Changer for Our Family”

As one of the new shelters was lowered into place, Liat, her husband Dimitry, and their 2-year-old son watched with visible relief. Their apartment building, like many in the area, lacks a reinforced shelter. Until now, every siren meant a frantic 10-minute run to the nearest public shelter—an impossible task for many, especially the elderly and families with young children.

“When there’s a siren, we just run and hope to get there in time before the missiles hit,” Liat shared. “It’s not easy for us, especially with our 2-year-old son. Some senior citizens simply stay in their apartments, unprotected.”

The past weeks have been especially harrowing. With nightly sirens and nearby missile strikes, Liat’s family has lived in a state of constant anxiety.

“We can’t fall asleep at night, and even if we do, it’s with worry and fear,” Liat said. The couple tries to stay calm for their son, but they say it’s hard. “Every day ends with a sense of relief—thank God, we made it through another day without harm.”

Now, with a shelter just steps from their home, everything has changed.

“This shelter is a game changer for us. We feel much safer. Look at the smile on our faces—we already feel more secure. Thank you to The Fellowship for seeing the need and making it possible.”

Your Support Makes This Possible

Thanks to your generosity, families like Liat’s can face each day with renewed hope and safety. While the sirens may fall silent for now, the need for protection remains. With your continued support, The Fellowship will keep placing shelters, saving lives, and standing with Israel.
