This second day of Operation Pillar of Cloud (or Defense) has been full of sound and fury, signifying hopefully very much indeed.
Apart from the dreadful news of the 3 Israeli casualties this morning, and 3 IDF soldiers injured in a mortar attack, we have been hearing all day about the constant air strikes by the IAF, assisted by the Israeli Navy gunboats.
This is the most extensive and up-to-date account I have read thus far about the attacks on Tel Aviv and the Israeli response. The situation is likely to get worse before it gets better, but we can all hope (and those who pray can pray as well) and keep Israel in our thoughts. May it get better soon and before many more Israeli lives are lost.
“Our married children phoned earlier offering us refuge. They all live in settlements around Judea and Samaria (aka the West Bank,) and that’s probably the safest place in the country. If it gets seriously bad here we’ll head out in that direction, but for the moment we’re staying put.”
Hi, Dan. That’s where we live…. A siren went off a little while ago. But I think it was either an accident or a joke. There were no explosions in Ma’ale Levona…
Thanks, Ruvy, for the update. Be well and be safe!
