Life here

 This is the situation right now. 100 unmanned aircraft but loaded with explosives are making their way from Iran to us. It is expected that when they are close there will also be ballistic missile firing. It takes them nine hours to arrive, so we are all glued to our phones and televisions to receive the alerts in time. But it is clear to everyone that we do not really know what will happen.

There was an alarm throughout the country at three o'clock in the morning and we all met again in the shelter.

Now we are waiting for something that we know will be different from what we have experienced so far, it is not boring here.

  2. I saw people stacking food inside their concrete safe spaces on tv today and wept for friends and friends, as soon as the sirens started. My generation are the children whose parents survived the Holocaust... and it looked like EXACTLY the same horror experience all over again.
    Be safe!

    1. At 6:30 in the morning I went to buy some necessary things at the small store here. There were indeed more people than usual, but that's understandable.

    1. It's a strange world indeed. One minute you're standing in the kitchen making lunch, and the next you're running to the shelter because someone doesn't want you to live.

  16. The escalation of war is very sad, but the Iranians have to be stopped. They are a menace! I'm sure the IDF have taken note of where the attacks are coming from, and they can soon be destroyed. Take care. Cro x
