The post he made is shocking Achilleas Peklaris, Greek former journalist who lives permanently in the city of Haifa, Israel for what is happening in the last hours in the country after the attack launched by Hamas.

Mr. Peklaris in a lengthy post on Facebook talks about the “worst war in many decades” in the region, but as he says he remains calm stating that “we will wait for the developments in the coming days and reassess the situation”.

Achillea Peklaris’ post:

“Sunday dawns and the country is at war, the worst in many decades. What is happening is beyond imagination, unimaginable and completely unexpected. When we saw in Season 3 of Fauda that Daesh jihadists were going in and out of Israel and entering houses, taking hostages, etc., we all thought that the script was “too far-fetched”. After all, what has happened since yesterday is ten times worse. And unfortunately what comes next will be even worse and drag on for quite some time.

We and our little ones remain absolutely safe and cool for now. We decided not to leave the country, not to leave our home, as long as we could stay that way. All the members of our family are safe, as well as our close circle. We will await developments in the coming days and reassess the situation.
[Στις 3:30 τα ξημερώματα ξυπνήσαμε από επίμονα χτυπήματα στην πόρτα του διαμερίσματός μας. Ευτυχώς τα μωρά ήταν σε  βαθύ ύπνο και δεν έκαναν θόρυβο. Πήγαμε στις μύτες των ποδιών στο ματάκι της πόρτας. Είδα δυο άντρες με στολές αστυνομικών. Η οδηγία των αρχών ασφαλείας ήταν σαφής: «Μην ανοίγετε σε κανέναν που δεν γνωρίζετε, ό,τι κι αν προφασιστούν». Αυτό κάναμε. Τα χτυπήματα συνεχίστηκαν για περίπου δέκα λεπτά, σαν ζωντανός εφιάλτης, σαν να ξυπνήσαμε μέσα σε ένα θρίλερ. Κρατούσαμε κι οι δύο την ανάσα μας και ευχόμασταν να μην ξυπνήσουν τα μωρά κι αρχισουν να κλαίνε.Αφού οι δύο ένστολοι έφυγαν, επικοινωνήσαμε με το Αστυνομικό Τμήμα της περιοχής. Ευτυχώς επιβεβαίωσαν ότι ήταν δικοί τους και «κάποιον έψαχναν, όχι εσάς», τους ενημερώσαμε ότι «κανένας δεν βρίσκεται εδώ». Ο Ματτέο και η Λίμπι ευτυχώς συνέχισαν να κοιμούνται σαν αγγελάκια. Εμείς, όμως, άντε να ξανακοιμηθούμε μετά από αυτό].
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hundreds of good friends for their messages of support, concern, and wishes for peace. I would also like to thank all the good colleagues from the Greek media who contacted me to put me on broadcasts and news bulletins. As I wrote in the previous post, as a father of newborns, I am currently on a full journalistic holiday. I can’t leave Natalie and our little ones to go to the front and cover the events. And from the safety of my living room, I have nothing new to add or more than what is already being reported by the international and local media. And most of all, I don’t want to bring this horrible energy into our house, which must at all costs remain calm, peaceful and sunny. It is our first priority.

Meanwhile, dawn broke. Natalie does meditation to balance the horror. I read news. Libby and Matteo just woke up. We hugged them, they smile and look at us innocently. In their world there is still only peace, love and joy. And so it will remain.”
