Operation Protective Edge - I am alive and well.

Gaza being bombed by the IDF as part of Operation Protective Edge

In case you are worried about me due to "Operation Protective Edge" - the current round of fire between Israel and Hamas around the Gaza Strip - I am pleased to announce that I am alive and well. I live in Rehovot, Israel, which is over 40km from Gaza, and rarely gets hit by rocket fire. Yesterday we had an air-raid alarm, and had to run into our staircase for protection, and even heard four explosions (they were near Ashdod and Gan Yavne - about 17km to the south from where I live), but nothing fell on Rehovot. I am, generally speaking, quite safe.

    Good to hear you are ok my friend. I do watch out on the news for mention of Rehovot but mercifully its not often mentioned alongside these troubles.
