The Ukraine war continues, and Russian bombings are closing in on the city of Lviv in western Ukraine. Overnight, missiles hit a military base in the city of Yavoriv, killing nine Ukrainian soldiers.

Sunday morning, refugees began flooding out of Lviv, including an elderly Holocaust survivor from Kharkiv who had been hospitalized and will be taken to Israel.
In the past few days, most of the air raid sirens in Lviv have gone off at night, but on Sunday, they were wailing in the morning, too, prompting people to try and leave Ukraine as quickly as possible. One more bus departed for the Polish border.
Binyamin Blonerovich, an Israeli resident on the ground helping evacuate refugees, told Israel Hayom, "The situation is very difficult. I don't know what will happen. Putin won't stop. Last night, missiles reached our area."
"This morning we brought an elderly woman out of the hospital and now she's leaving with her family. A few days ago there was a young woman who was really sick. All these people want to go home. Every one of them has their own story – a missile fell there, someone else had a relative who was badly wounded, and so on," he says.
