During the missile attacks by Iran against Israel, the claim that Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch did not take in citizens seeking shelter sparked a major debate in the country. The Israeli minister described the arrivals as "extremists" and stated, "They had 8 minutes to go to a nearby shelter and protect themselves."

An incident that occurred during the sirens sounding in Israel amid Iran's retaliatory attacks has become a topic of discussion on social media. It was claimed that Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch did not allow people wanting to enter the shelter into his home.

THEY KNOCKED ON THE DOOR 

Some individuals who came to Kisch's house in the city of Hod Hasharon, located in central Israel, requested to be let inside to enter the shelter while the sirens were sounding. It was reported that one person, knocking on the door and asking for help, shouted, "A missile is coming from Iran, will you let us in?"

During the incident, it was heard that the individuals in front of the house said, "I am a teacher. You and your government attacked them, these missiles are coming because of you. Protect me and let me in."

THE MINISTER RESPONDED 

After the incident, Kisch made a statement on his social media account, claiming that the individuals were "extremist, dreamers, guilty," arguing that they were trying to take advantage of the alarm to enter his home.

The Israeli Minister stated, "They had 8 minutes to go to a nearby shelter to protect themselves."
