The same story at the El Al desks after the airline announced it is suspending its flights between Miami and Tel Aviv through at least Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The carrier is now preparing to operate rescue flights to help bring stranded passengers home, with priority given to those with previously canceled tickets.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe feeling is we are all scared and we\u2019re on edge,\u201d said Scott Wayne, who is stuck in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
Those air raid sirens are what Aventura resident Scott Wayne said he is hearing from inside his hotel room in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
He is among thousands of Americans desperate to return home after Israel shut down its airspace Saturday following the strikes on Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like the US government to do something as an American citizen and help the US citizens to get out of Israel, the ones that want to leave,\u201d said Wayne. <\/p>\n
A spokesperson from the office of US Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz stated that she \u201cis also working with anyone who contacts her office to walk them through the step program, work with the State Department and reach out to other embassies or consulates. In addition, she\u2019s pushing the State Department to charter flights to help Americans stranded in the region.\u201d <\/p>\n
