JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A local church group, who found themselves stranded in Israel following Hamas attacks is set to complete their journey home tonight.. The return of the second half of the group is expected to bring relief and gratitude for their peaceful return.
The members of the First Baptist Church Fernandina Beach group, a total of 54, were in Israel last week when they found themselves caught up in a war zone. The group had reportedly dancing on a boat in the middle of the Sea of Galilee when they heard about the first Hamas attack in Israel. Their guide played a crucial role in helping them escape the dangerous parts of the war. While close to the conflict, members tell Action News Jax they felt safe reportedly traveling in buses and receiving meals in five-star hotels.
