Pregnant wife of Hibs player Ofir Marciano hides in shelter as bombs strike Israel

The heavily pregnant wife of Hibs player Ofir Marciano was forced to hide in a bomb shelter with her family after bombs struck above her home in Israel.

Model Shelly Regev, who is eight months pregnant, flew to Israel last week with the couple's young son Sunny.

They had already encountered a frightening time after being caught up in mid-air drama when their flight to Israel was diverted due to rocket attacks at Tel Aviv airport which stopped their plane from landing.

As a consequence, Shelly had to return to Frankfurt on the diverted plane and her trip home was delayed until it was safe to fly in.

Now, Shelly, who is believed to have flown back ahead of Ofir after he revealed he'd played his last game with the club, has faced further drama as she, Sunny and her parents had to hide following bomb attacks above their home.

Shelly posted a video of her ordeal as the family had to go to their bomb shelter to try and stay safe from the attacks on Saturday at 1.36pm.

Shelly sat beside her father on the tiled floor of the small room, believed to be attached to their home.

In the dramatic footage, she revealed: "This is our situation at the moment."

Shelly showed her son and mum sitting under a metal topped table as Sunny, oblivious to the dangers played with his toy airplane.

Despite her worries, Shelly took the time to wish her husband the best of luck during his final game.
