Saturday

It's not boring here. In the middle of my siesta I had to leap out of bed and think what I was doing when an alarm sounded. I had 45 seconds to get to the shelter outside the house. I just stood in the corridor waiting for 45 seconds. Everything is fine. 150 rockets from the morning.

  10. I would hate what you have to live through Yael. Keep safe! Getting out of bed and into a shelter within seconds ... Yikes!!But counting the strikes and no knowing when they will end must be frightening.

  12. It really is about time the 'real' Palestinians rose up, and booted out those evil Hamas people. Only then could peace exist.

  13. You're right, sometimes I get to talk to some of them, simple and good people,like us, it's only the leadership that makes it seem that the solution is very far away.

  14. What rockets are you talking about?

  15. Rockets that can kill you if you get them close enough.They are also full of metal marbles so that if only the shrapnel hurts you, your situation is very bad, they are sent from Gaza at surprising times.I live 50 km from Gaza so I have a minute to find shelter, my grandchildren are closer, they have 30 seconds. If you asked about a particular type of missile, I think some of them were cornet, there were 700 missiles.
