The Israeli Perspective: Chico State Student Yarin Dan Chico State student Yarin Dan was shocked by the Oct. 7 massacre carried out by Hamas. Dan, a fourth-year student majoring in mechanical and mechatronic electrical engineering, was born in Be’er Ya’akov, Israel, in 2002. “It was crazy. I was mind-blown at first,” Dan said. Dan expressed.
“Catch up with Israeli news Crazy shit about to happen!!!” I received this message on Oct. 6 at midnight from my friend Yarin Dan. He is a student at Chico State and an Israeli immigrant who moved to America when he was 13 years old. The next day I incessantly consumed the news and watched.
