YESODOT, Israel — On the road outside the military base, hundreds of cars were pulled onto the shoulders for a half-mile in either direction: Kias, Toyotas, pickups and bakery vans. It was a pop-up parking lot for war, a place for military reservists to park, hurry into the base as civilians and leave as soldiers. No one knows when they will be back for their personal cars — or their civilian lives.
Twenty miles east, at Jerusalem’s popular Malha Mall, the parking lot is all but empty. Almost every shop is closed, as is the case across the country. Those who would normally work and shop are pouring into the ranks of the military. Others are making preparations for a conflict that promises to be long-lasting and punishing. As the world awaits Israel’s next response to the Hamas surprise attack, Israel is transforming into a country at war.
