I mean this is pretty much unprecedented in Israeli history. Everyone within rocket distance of Gaza has safe rooms in their homes and they're used to running for cover when the rocket sirens go off, but a massed ground attach? Unprecedented.
Edit: Stats I'm seeing are that there were at least 2.6 million tourists to Israel in 2022. This includes Jews as well as Christian and Muslim pilgrims, secular visitors, etc. In a normal year, it's a safe place to visit.
