Make sure to buy shelf stable food that will last for some time, and hopefully that you do not need to cook, or can cook very easily. Such as cans of food, or things like oatmeal, granola, protein bars, peanut butter, beef jerky. Anything you would take to eat on a long camping trip.

Also go to the camping section and buy LifeStraws or something else to purify any water you manage to collect:

This is a LifeStraw:

https://www.amazon.com/LifeStraw-Personal-Camping-Emergency-Preparedness/dp/B0CFYJ8YZL

There is a good chance your local camping section will have them.

Also, these are water purification tablets:

https://www.99boulders.com/best-water-purification-tablets

If nothing else, if you can gather wood, including furniture from your home and your community that people do not absolutely require, you can create a fire to boil water with and purify it that way. If you do that, try to do that as a neighborhood/community, with a big enough pot for everyone to collect some, since they will likely be contributing furniture or whatever wood they can find to it.

If you have gas appliances, make sure you have enough fuel.

You can cook with a camping stove such as this one:

https://www.amazon.com/GS-3400P-Portable-Backpacking-Emergency-Preparedness/dp/B01HQRD8EO/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?c=ts&keywords=Backpacking+%26+Camping+Stoves+%26+Grills&qid=1696725577&s=outdoor-recreation&sr=1-9&ts_id=3400941

Make sure you use the appropriate fuel that is compatible with it. It is potentially dangerous if you do not.

Likewise, your store’s camping section may have a spirit burner, such as this:

https://www.backcountrygear.com/spirit-burner/

This can create a fire to cook small things using almost any type of alcohol, including rubbing alcohol and more pure liquors like vodka. Be extremely careful after you light it. The flame is often invisible, but can still burn you.

Make sure to check on your neighbors, relatives, and friends. The only way you are getting through this is as a community.

Since we are in autumn, and nobody knows how long this will last, make sure you have enough blankets and layers of clothes to keep warm.

If it does start to get cold and you have lost power and heat, hang blankets up in your hallways and doorways that you can’t close, and either hang blankets, or tape sheets of plastic or cellophane wrap around your windows to help keep heat in. It may be a good idea to cover your windows anyways, to keep anyone from seeing inside.

Search your market for a hand cranked radio to keep up with the situation. Especially try to look for one that also acts as a mobile device charger. Some of them may even be solar powered.

For example, if you see something like this, fucking steal it:

https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiIkpfPmOWBAxUlm1oFHX78A6UYABAIGgJ2dQ&ae=2&gclid=CjwKCAjwg4SpBhAKEiwAdyLwvOzDwZt1lyQ-eLiGsjeqmohTDLuxnjvOepnnxxlEZ8BnaKksEeCHJRoCis4QAvD_BwE&sph=&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESeuD2Q2N_qjAlaHugH1dpK6bNbVX6H0EFQq6G-xqTeD2RmJR_uUjbEXSjGweVhT8P9kSZOY6J2Gub4KVyHYAP_OPN4FcvTJ7hPHFTap7tbvglxHr7awcSRENjWeLNq1-AOTycH5Ye6VWYEeWW0bx9QEdRXd8Ta35bW7D3&sig=AOD64_3cqBGEmR_v_d13D6dqA5zv-z7WWw&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwi89I7PmOWBAxULFlkFHWF0AP0Qwg8oAHoECAUQDA&adurl=

Also, make sure you are stocked up on first aid supplies. Including tourniquets, chest seals, and bandages, as well as other supplies to treat people injured by gunshots or shrapnel from rockets. At least to whatever extent you can.

This is a guide to how to make an Individual First Aid Kit, or IFAK:

https://mymedic.com/blogs/journal/how-to-build-an-ifak

It is very likely too late to get ahold of much of these supplies, but literally anything you can get is better than not having it.

Are people in Israel allowed to own guns? I assume you are an adult, and have been in mandatory military service before? If you have this, you may very well need it.

Organize as many people with police and military experience in your area as possible to protect themselves.

Contact the police or military in your area, and get them to help you establish a community defense if you can. If not, find whatever weapons you can get ahold of.

Set up patrols and checkpoints around your area, with people constantly in communication with each other through cell phones or radios, and a way to signal alarms if someone needs help or if Hamas attacks. Make sure every one of these groups has battery chargers for their devices.

If Hamas does attack, and your community does decide to fight, try to get them in an area where you have an advantage and they don’t.

Somewhere where you can ambush them.

Or a choke point where you can attack them from multiple directions, while they are forced together in a small space.

Or a underneath a building or bridge where people positioned on the roof can throw heavy objects onto them. In the third case, throw everything heavy that you can, as hard as you can, and be as fucking angry as possible.

Whatever you do, you are trying to kill these people, because they will not hesitate to kill you.

If you have petrol, rags, styrofoam and bottles you can make Molotov cocktails.

Here is a link from a Ukrainian website on how to make them:

https://zaborona.com/en/bandera-smoothies-for-putins-friends-how-to-make-a-molotov-cocktail-basic-recipes-and-life-hacks/

Also, establish challenge and answer words between you and your friends. Make sure everybody knows these before you move to any location, or station anybody anywhere.

For example, if you see someone you do not recognize, you would shout “Mercedes!” Then that person would shout “Benz!” This is to make sure this person is someone you know. Pick two words, it does not matter what, but make sure everybody you are working with knows exactly what they are.

Also, establish some form of signal which everybody understands for if an area is under attack, someone is wounded, and so forth.

For example, the use of smoke signals, light signals using lanterns or flashlights, or flare guns. If you are able to get ahold of any, which I do not expect is the case.

Do not try to be visible unless you absolutely have to. Stay off the street if you can, and try not to travel during daylight when you are easily seen.

In the Battle of Fallujah, US forces would regularly knock down walls in order to move between buildings and avoid going out into the street due to how dangerous it was. If your area has storm drains, some people may be able to travel that way. As crazy as it may seem in normal times, these are not normal times.

I don't have much experience to offer, but I do live in a country that doesn't have the regular access to amenities that america takes for granted, so I know a lot of the suggestions being made in this post will not be practical.

Collect rags. I don't know how common paper towels are there, but they're kind of a luxury thing here. I use cloths to clean and they can be useful for a lot. Get matches- they're cheaper and go further than lighters. Maybe a couple lighters just for in an emergency.

Buy iodine, antiseptic alcohol, or peroxide. Baking soda and vinegar are good for a lot of hygiene emergencies and are cheap. Collects all the water you can, of course. Do not tell anyone you have it. This seems cruel, but people are not generous in crisis. If this goes on even a few days more than expected, people will be one unpredictable and dangerous. So behave as expected- even if you have food or water stores, make a trip to buy some so you can be seen doing it. Act like you're struggling as much as anyone.

I would fortify your shelter as best you can. Collected cloths, bandages, gauze, anything you can. Buy a lot of ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Basic bar soap, maybe some laundry bar soap. Get all your laundry and dishes done, think about how you'll prepare food if power goes. Do you know how to make a fire? Cook over one? Focus on canned or dried goods.

Buy salt and sugar, even just a couple bags. You can make an electrolyte drink in a pinch, and hydration is crucial. Salt is also very good for cleaning and in a real emergency, a saline solution can be prepared for a fairly safe wound cleanser.

At least one decent small power bank, maybe solar if you can. Better to get one decent one than several cheap ones- I know from experience. Try to have a spare phone charger or two. Log out of personal accounts in case, heavens forbid, you lose it and can't quickly access internet to protect your information. Don't forget emails and bank accounts! Log out of EVERYTHING.

Again, I'm so sorry for what you're going through. This is truly a nightmare. God willing it will go quickly, and you will be blessed with the knowledge of how to be more thoroughly prepared in future and can educate others as well.

Pray, pray, pray. Have faith in the Holy One. He will preserve what is His. I will pray for you 🤍

keridwenx@reddit

Also, don't underestimate small normalities. Buy a couple sodas you like. Dark chocolate has antioxidants that are good for binding to free radicals which you'll have more of when under extreme stress. Buy a bag of chips if you can. Something you like.

Read books, play board games. Do art. Stay busy as long as you're not in immediate danger. God willing you won't have to flee your dwelling. Don't let yourself go crazy with anxiety and worry.

I know enough about both sides to stay the fuck out of this mess.

My wife and kids are Jewish. My in-laws aren’t good people due to their disapproval of her marrying a non-Jew, who happens to be black. They have referred to me as a “ebed”, Hebrew for slave, as an insult. I didn’t convert to Judaism because of this bullshit.

In laws refused to be at the hospital for my daughter’s birth because I would be there, in-laws have been terrorists to my wife to a degree that we didn’t even mention we were having a second child. Also, when my wife’s grandmother died they didn’t tell her - even though my wife made contact during the last day of her grandmother’s life. My wife has made some peace, because she saw her grandma a few days before her passing and our daughter met her great grandmother. They buried her grandma within a day and didn’t tell my wife. She found out from an old family sending condolences. How much hate does someone need to have to do that?

My wife’s heart is with Israel, but I have to remind her that her own kids and I may get different treatment in that country. There was a recent video of some Jewish people walking and then spitting at a Christian group carrying a cross.

This conflict is unfortunate, but there are many players and factions that have helped get to this point. If you haven’t prepared … what have you been doing all this time?

I'm sure the palestinians streaming across the barricades feel similarly.

Those four things mean ongoing survival.

Get as much water as you can and food. Bags of rice, bags of beans, anything. It’s likely already looted.

If you can walk out of the area, start walking.

You need 2liters per person per day of water, 2400calories of food per person per day.

Layers of clothing for cold, shade for heat.

Find matches and lighters and hoard them.

After that, you need:

A multitool or your strongest small knife and a pair of sturdy scissors. A screwdriver. Pliers.

First aid, light, sanitation (bathroom), comms/nav, and electrical.

Grab any and all bandages, cleanser, sewing items, and tape you can find (duct tape is good).

Get a shovel/trowel/hand shovel. Get rolls of toilet paper and hide them. Pee anywhere, poop, dig a hole hold your nose squat, bury.

A crank flashlight charger is a good item. Otherwise, plug in all external chargers you have and hoard them.

After that:

Morale, defense, trade

Cards, a good book, coloring for the kids

Firearms, fighting knife, camo to hide

Stay inside, stay away from windows, lock your doors and barricade them if you can block the windows, do that.

you missed you chance to prep, now just hunker down and wait. There is 0 chance the IDF doesn't roll them out and most likely take over a few more miles of their land in the process.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

1) water is most important, obtain and store as much as you can; 2) weapons. Any weapons. If you don’t have access to a gun or knives, look around your home and gather anything you can comfortably hold and wield; 3) communications. Keep all electronics charged, get a handheld radio if possible. Write down contact info for emergency contacts and keep your ID and passport on you in case you need to leave quickly; 4) first aid; 5) food, protein and carbs, any items that don’t need refrigeration; 6) pack a go bag with a change of clothes and any necessities in case you have to run; 7) flashlights; 8) keep your lights off, stay quiet, try to leave access to any window you have that can give you a view of the street, and preferably that you can leave out of if your doors aren’t usable due to attack; 9) pack several pairs of clean socks in case you have to leave, I can’t emphasize enough how important fresh socks can be for you if you have to get mobile.

Stay inside, coordinate with neighbors for attack plans or help if possible, barricade doors and windows with any furniture you can. Don’t leave unless you absolutely have to. Try to determine if your local officials have a designated safe location for citizens to evacuate to if fighting is close. Your government and military are well equipped to drive this enemy out, I expect to see them get control over the situation sooner rather than later. I hope you and your loved ones stay safe, all of my family and friends here in the US are eager to see a quick end to this war and peace in Israel.

Get a gun with a lot of ammo, this will guarantee to survive little longer also get you food by whatever means, hurry up and withdraw all funds from bank, buy gold and silver in case Biden succeeds in destroying US currency so you’re ahead of inflation.

Woolfmann@reddit

Water:

Sawyer water filter when you can get it
Fill bathtub (if you have one) if water is still on.
Fill water bottles, pitchers, glasses, etc. so you have water.

Food:

3 day supply of MREs when you can get them
eat sparing of what you have now.
if/when you don't have electricity, eat perishables first. Your refrigerator will only keep goods cold for 4 hours.

Self-Defense:

keep lights and Music off to keep your presence unknown
use a single earphone for radio
if using TV for information, put a dark blanket over it and you to keep light in
Guns work best. If no guns, then knives. Baseball / cricket bats are also good.
broomsticks or mop handles can be used to help defend yourself
most vulnerable areas to hit are eyes, nose, throat, groin, and knees.

If someone has guns and tries to kidnap you, you are safer trying to run away than getting in their vehicle. Even if you get shot, many people survive gunshot wounds. Most people do not survive kidnappings and torture.

This is episode 23,467 of the never-ending Israel/Palestine conflict. Just another Tuesday, er, Saturday.

If I were worried about something - and I’m not - it would be Russia. They’ve been shown to be a paper tiger; all the corruption have hollowed out their military. Putin’s doomed and Russia’s economy will collapse (again).

But I doubt it will expand beyond Ukraine; Ukraine has proven to be more than Russia can handle.

If Russia insanely attacked NATO, that war would be over in a hurry. It wouldn’t last years like WW1 and WW2.

“Don’t troll my thread” ARE YOU f’ing KIDDING ME?

I have dozens of relatives and friends who are actually dealing with this right now - but none of them is asking “what they should do” on a social media site- because everyone in Israel has plans in place. Unless you just moved to Israel yesterday, you’re well prepared for this situation.
Every living space in Israel is required to have a shelter. If you live in an apartment building, it’s large enough for everyone in the building. Plus it contains many days of supplies. I don’t know if you’re playing games are looking for sympathy, but you need to stop. And if you sincerely don’t know what you should be doing I suggest you ask somebody in your apartment building instead of trolling on social media sites for sympathy.

Most other tips are pretty good already. Also those concerning weapons.

You can also make very simple Molotov cocktails. There is a detailed description on wikipedia. If you are going to throw them, do not throw them overhead, use an underhand throw like you would in bowling. That way you won't set yourself on fire if the wick slips out and you spill the liquid. The best way to use them is to target open vehicles with people on them. Leave armored vehicles to the professionals.

robbleshaver@reddit

this sounds like a time is of the essence, limited prep scenario with that being said...

Improvised face masks and goggles if you can't buy real ones. Helmets if you can manage. Fill backpacks for each member of your household with light, non-perishable foods and water, spare clothes, trauma FAK, flashlight of some kind, identification and next of kin ID, duct tape, keep mobile devices charged. I'm sure I'm missing something but this is a start.

Yeah calling out systematic genocide is anti semitic apparently. All Palestinians are terrorists too.

Like all wars there’s a narrative. Once hamas is controlled Israel will completely wipe Palestine off the map.

Seek Shelter: It's crucial to stay safe during rocket attacks. If you have access to a shelter or safe room in your apartment, stay there during attacks.

Emergency Supplies: Ensure you have some essential supplies in your shelter, such as water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, a first-aid kit, and any necessary medications.

Stay Informed: Keep a battery-powered radio or a smartphone with a backup charger to stay updated on the latest news and instructions from authorities.

Emergency Contacts: Make sure you have a list of emergency contacts readily available, including local authorities, family members, and friends.

Follow Local Guidance: Listen to instructions from local authorities and follow evacuation orders if necessary.

Stay Low: When seeking shelter during rocket attacks, stay low to the ground to reduce the risk of injury from shrapnel.

Power Outages: If there's a possibility of power outages, consider having a power bank or backup battery source for your phone and other essential devices.

Stay Calm: It's natural to feel scared during such events, but try to stay as calm as possible to make rational decisions.

If it's possible to get out buy at least Water Medical supplies, first aid kit, medicine A light source (candles, flashlight) Food

If it's the possibility that your area gets attacked, print or download some information you need, like maps ect. Get your documents ready, and get cash and fuel up a car if you have one, and put some extra fuel in Jerrycans. Also get something like a whistle just in case you get trapped under rubble, would be easier to get noticed with that sound.

Hoping and praying for you and your country!

My biggest suggestion would actually be to go on Facebook and other Reddit groups where you know you'll have far more supporters than here.

Depending on how bad it is, get armed. Harden your shelter with wood, sand bags, rocks and steel plates. Store as much water and food. Don't go out, if you do don't stop moving. Don't follow people close, don't stop for traffic, don't stop for police without calling it in. But best not to go out.

are you a prepper? Do you not have at least 3 options in mind as to how to GTFO if needed? What options would you have planned if you're in Israel?

Some Ukranians are fleeing the warzone trough Russia (and then onward). If your house is gone and half your family died in the shelling, you either stay to fight or you take your chances with whatever options are available.
OP is not born in Israel btw, might very well have a Belarusian passport.

I agree for the most part. I think if Israel was a good stuard of Palestine and they invested in the area and worked harder to prevent tensions like this today would be much more harmonious.

I also see the current residents as Israel as victims of this as well.

I disagree about not helping someone who is asking for advice from a community that should have some knowledge about survival and loss of ROL. This random dude is just trying to save his family and I think this community could learn from the experience

I haven't read all the comments, but I see lots of people recommending water, food, etc. I think most of the basics have been covered, and would only add batteries and fuel if you have a vehicle or generator. Definitely limit how much flammable stuff you keep inside, but fuel for portable stoves is also a good thing to have. Bandages, first aid items, etc, may seem obvious but it's easy to forget when you are focusing on food, water, shelter. Lastly, I will be vague for several reasons, but self defense items are always better to have than not, even if it's just a nice heavy flashlight.

Nothing much to add other than good luck and G*d bless, I hope peace prevails as quickly as possible!

Sorry for the length of this post.

There isn't much else that can be added to what is already said and I wish all parties to find peace.

When this is over, do you think you all will remain in your area with the same household members? If so, this is when you will begin preparing for such an event again.

From that I would block any account that has put rude, mean or nasty comments in this thread. You don't need to deal with those people.

You will need to make a clear plan and all of your household will need to be on board with it and participate and comply. If they don't it will be very difficult. You will need to make new plans if they don't participate.

I won't ask where you live or anything like that. But others are saying to get out a map and use it in planning. They are right in that you need maps to determine how your plans will be laid out.

While you are working on that, consider the pros and cons of a food freeze dryer, dehydrator and home canners. You can also consider fermentation. For obvious reasons you won't want to rely on a freezer. Using one or all of these methods of food preservation is essential to any plan.

Personally, for your situation, I would go with a food dehydrator and freeze dryer because these will be the most versatile. Then you only need to think about water supply and how much you need to have comfortable reserves. Also you need to think about how you will secure your supplies.

Please tell me how this helps? And also let me know how you know this individual person caused this? I don't know what country you're from but I hope that your country never does anything that would cause you to be in the middle of a war zone. And how would you feel if someone said it's your fault that you're getting bombed. Grow up. Open your mind for a minute. The majority of the people in this world are literally just trying to get by day by day. Just trying to pay their bills and feed their family. They have no way to control what is going on between different governments and the world. I'm sorry but your comment really upsets me. Peace love and happiness man. I think deep down that's the only thing that everybody in this world really wants besides the evil scum that runs the government. Have a good day. Be nice.

More to reassure you and general curiosity. Totally fair if it feels unsafe to share, even a general area. I have friends in Tel Aviv. If you’re north/reasonably east of TLV rockets won’t be as much of a direct problem.

Well. Your country has basically treated Palestinians like zoo animals and allowed your religious zealots to push them out of whatever home they could eke out, so why are you surprised?

Be alert. Be aware. Take notes. Learn every lesson you can, so that you can make sure this never happens again.

You do understand with that reasoning that means America has about 300 more 9/11s to endure just for the damage caused in Iraq?

This is such an unkind response 😿. This is a terrified civilian in a horrible situation. I have no idea where you live but if you see a few videos, you will see the sheer terror this people are experiencing. I grieve for the innocent civilians on both sides. Humans being unkind to other humans doesn’t make for a better world. Exercise some kindness Frogmarsh.

Propaganda for the people who can’t afford to pay attention to the situation attentively- Israel is the aggressor, always has been. Disgusting.
