Tuesday
A rocket hit a few meters from my house in Ma'alot!
Sunday
The repair shop is less than 100 meters from where I pass every morning on my way back from work!
Saturday
This is our home and we do not have the financial ability to go away from the dangerous area.
Friday
I try to lighten the atmosphere so daughter Rachel and Chaim won't be so scared.
Thursday
Being a paramedic from the IDF, I rushed outside to find out if anyone had been injured.
Wednesday
Living under the noses of the Hizbullah and the Palestinian terrorists is very akin to living in the shadow of an active volcano. You never can know when it will erupt.
