Time to Make a Shopping List

Last night katyusha rockets landed near Afula and the Jezreel Valley, which marks the farthest south that the bombs have reached. I live in a yishuv in the Shomron (Samaria) directly east of Tel-Aviv. The IDF thinks that the chances of a rocket reaching our area is very small - but not nonexistent. I am making a shopping list for westbankpapa to take care of on his way home from work today. We live in a house that was built after 1991, so we have a special reinforced room (called a mamad), and we will go into it if we hear the sirens. My kids have day camp for another week, and one son leaves for Poland (the "Holocaust tour") tonight (a post on that will be forthcoming when the dust settles).

Just a reminder that there are real people behind the updates on the war!
