Thousands gathering in Scottsdale tonight to show support for those with loved ones caught in the chaos in Israel.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — More than 8,000 miles away, war rages in Israel. More than 1,000 people have been killed since the fighting began and the conflict shows no signs of ending soon.
“When you hear them, you can hear the distraught in their voice and hearing their voices shake when they're letting us know that they're okay, but in reality, we know they're not okay,” Eddie Chavez-Caldron said. Nachum Erlich, who was also at the gathering, said he was born and raised in Israel and moved to Arizona in 2005. He called his family as well, including his mom who just turned 100 years old last year. While he said they are doing okay for now, some of his younger family members and friends were enlisted in the war.Officials said more than 1,200 people have already been killed.
