Mr. Arnold, 20, is a Yeshiva University student who took part in the Jan. 15 "Operation Torah Shield," an El AL flight to Israel on the very day that the United Nations sanctioned force should Iraqi forces still oc- cupy Kuwait. The trip offered some 400 participants $50 round-trip air fares to Israel to study Torah for one to two weeks. The trip was subsidized by an anonymous donor, re- portedly from Florida, to show solidarity with Israel. There was also a standby list of 400 for the journey on Flight 012. Most of the pas- sengers were faculty, students and alumni of Yeshiva University and Stern College in New York. Mr. Arnold said the flight arrived in Israel to a great deal of media hype, in- cluding speeches from state dignitaries at Ben-Gurion Airport. A bus took Mr. Ar- nold and many others to the Western Wall and also to the Knesset for further procla- mations and publicity. That was the fun part. "After that, we spent the next couple of days in sealed- off rooms with gas masks on," he said. "That wasn't so much fun." Mr. Arnold received his own gas mask, complete with instructions, at a Jerusalem hotel. He said the moment he received the mask was the scariest part of the entire trip. "It's the realization that all of this is for real that hits you when you are given that mask," he said. Mr. Arnold did not have a long wait before he got to try out the mask. The con- tingent was in Israel for two days when Iraq launched its first Scud missile attack on Tel Aviv. Israeli authorities believed at first that the missile warheads were modified to explode in a cloud of poisonous gas. "After a while it became a reflex," he said. "You'd put your mask on and go to the sealed-off room. The most difficult part was the an- ticipation between attacks. Steve Arnold: "It became a reflex." When was he (Saddam Hus- sein) going to strike out at Israel next? All day on Sat- urday, no matter where I was or who I was with, we were all going nuts. The an- ticipation, more than the missiles, was killing us." Mr. Arnold believes he heard two explosions while he stayed in Jerusalem. But he did not see any damage. Now, the only feelings he has are guilty ones for coming home. _ "I still find myself being very tense even here in the United States," he said. "But while I was there I kept waking up anticipating that siren. That I don't miss."
