Shocked city Jews fear for families

Jewish New Yorkers were shocked and outraged Saturday by Iran’s missile attack on Israel, leaving many fearing for their loved ones in the besieged Jewish state.

“Of course, I’m scared for my family and their well-being,” said Chaim Goldstein told The Post as he left Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights.

The Post broke the news of the invasion to dozens of worshippers who had not heard what happened because of Sabbath restrictions.

“I just pray that Hashem should take care of the Jewish people and that the hostages should be allowed to return to their home,” Rabbi David Sholom Pape, 79, told The Post, describing Iran’s attack as a “suicide mission.”

Many were not surprised upon learning that Iran deployed hundreds of drones, missiles and rockets in a middle-of-the-night attack.

The strike with some 200 drones marks Iran’s first-ever direct attack on Israel and comes after the Jewish state killed top Iranian generals in a strike on Syria on April 1.

“I’m not surprised but it’s getting serious,” Samson, 26, who declined to give his last name, said, noting that his entire family lives in Israel.

“We call every day to find out how they’re doing. We pray every day for our brothers and sisters in their holy land.”

Samson chastised the Iranians in Tehran who were seen in photographs celebrating.

“It’s horrible,” he said. “Celebrating genocide is horrible.”

Mayor Adams emphasized that the city “unequivocally stands with the State of Israel” as it faces fresh attacks from Iran.

“As mayor of the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel, the significance of this attack for Jewish New Yorkers — many of whom have family in Israel right now — is not lost on me, especially less than 10 days before Passover begins,” Hizzoner said in a statement.
