Thankful to be Home

North Forker Bonnie Hankey has something to be thankful for this holiday season — escaping the escalating war in Israel.

Hankey is a member of the Bahá’í Faith and was on a pilgrimage to Haifa, Israel. She was just boarding her flight when Hamas attacked Israel, sending the two into a bloody war.

At first she was told her pilgrimage itinerary would be intact, but by the time she landed in Israel things became increasingly dire and she was advised, along with thousands of other Americans and other foreigners in the country, to get out.
