As the death toll in Israel continues to rise, the families of the Dallas Baptist University students who were there are relieved their loved ones are back home. Wednesday morning, that worry and wait felt more urgent as a group from DBU were coming home from Israel days after a war started.
DBU officials said they were about 40 miles away from the conflict area, but like millions of others, they still heard constant sirens and warnings. Burdett’s father had multiple sleepless nights trying to learn every detail about his daughter’s safety. "We had a group of three that flew Monday, and they did experience a rocket attack warning at the airport on Monday. We didn’t experience that, but we did experience them in Jerusalem at the hotel," Harley said.Harley added that some of the us government officials they worked with happened to be DBU alumni, so that made them more confident about communication and the plan to get home.
