Newcastle Grandad Stranded in Jerusalem During Iranian Missile Attacks After Flight Cancelled
- James Eden, a 72-year-old British grandfather from Newcastle, arrived in Israel on Monday for a six-day pilgrimage to Christian sites.
- His trip overlapped with a series of missile launches by Iran and Israeli military responses, resulting in flight disruptions and emergency warnings in Jerusalem on Friday.
- Mr. Eden and his friend witnessed missile barrages and Iron Dome interceptors while shops, offices, and restaurants were shut down, leaving Jerusalem feeling like a "ghost town."
- Mr. Eden stated he has two weeks' supply of medication, has contacted the British embassy, but feels abandoned as officials said they could do little beyond updates.
- The Foreign Office confirmed contact with Mr. Eden, urged Britons to monitor travel advice, and offered 24/7 support, while Mr. Eden considers a risky bus escape through the Negev desert.
