Who are Alex Anzalone’s parents?

Alex Anzalone, despite his standout performance in a recent NFL game with 11 tackles, has been preoccupied with concerns for his parents’ safety as hostilities escalated in Israel. His parents arrived in Israel on October 2 as part of a tour group from their church, First Naples, a Baptist congregation in Naples, Florida. With the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, the group is urgently seeking a way to leave the area.

The First Naples Church group had a flight scheduled to depart from Tel Aviv on Thursday, but the airport has been a central location of the conflict. They are exploring alternative options to ensure their safe departure as quickly as possible.

Pastor Alan Brumback, who is accompanying the group in Israel, provided an update via the church’s Facebook page on Saturday, assuring that they were doing well at their hotel in Jerusalem and requesting prayers for a peaceful and swift resolution to the situation.

U.S. Congressman Byron Donalds, representing Naples as part of his district, expressed concern for the situation, noting that he has 53 constituents in Jerusalem who are seeking a way to return to the United States amid the turmoil. The situation highlights the challenges and anxieties faced by American citizens caught in the midst of international conflicts.
