A grad rocket hit Beer-Sheva yesterday,and it landed in an area that let’s just say me and my friends frequently visit. In fact, I had been in that same area just a few hours earlier, and had I stayed longer (like I originally wanted to) then who knows! I might have been injured or – God-forbid – killed.

I spoke about the rocket attack for WEWS News Channel 5 News as a live shot for the twelve o’clock news:

The attack occurred just 25 minutes after Israel’s three-hour ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip. Clearly, Hamas used those three-hours to prepare more rocket fire against Israel.

A local Israeli shot footage of the attack – you can see a plume of smoke rising from the site.

God, I hope this war ends soon, but it doesn’t look like it will. This morning two rockets from Lebanon hit northern Israel including the city of Nahariya, which is only a few miles away from Haifa.

Many people don’t remember, but the Second Israel-Lebanon War in 2006 started off as a battle against Hamas, and then Hizbullah joined in the fun. Israeli media is saying that the rockets were most likely shot by Hamas agents operating in Lebanon or a different jihadist group not affiliated with Hizbullah. But who knows. Yesterday, Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah boasted on television that the terrorist group is ready to fight Israel again.

If this turns into a two-front war, then I may have to reconsider my options and that includes possibly leaving the country.
