    I wrote that a few hours ago:

    my hometown has being targeted 4 times since morning. The alarm didn't work at the second time, and the area next to where I'm living got bombed. We were surprised and shocked. This time, the missiles were fired at an arab population street. One of the missiles went directly into a house, but thank god that was THE ONLY house which has no people inside it in that specific street.

    ========

    About 2 hours ago two missiles were fired at Nazareth - an arab city in northern Isreal. This time the results were tragic: two kids (at the age 3 & 9) were killed, 12 were injured.

    Previously to that, 3 missiles just missed one of my best freind's house in a small town near by. Right now there are several shooting towards Haifa, local media reports of no injured people in that event.

    I'm sorry! It must be pretty scary for ya right now :(

    Just stay out of harms way.

    Can I ask you a question cause your in the reigon...do you believe that these missles are justified considering ferocity of the Israel attack and the already killing of 240 + Lebonese civilians...

    Other than that please take care of yourself....we all hope things get better over there trust me on that....

    No, killing innocent civilians can never be justified. Most of Israeli people think the same about this matter.

    Don't worry, that seems to be what most of us are hearing. I've been reading that in the Irish media anyway - any Jewish/Israeli people interviewed are disgusted by the whole thing and want it to stop - I wasn't sure if that was media bias or if it's the general consensus (cos Irish media tends to side with Palestine/Lebanon on these issues).

    wow I have read it all....

    If I may...I don't agree with the glee with which praise of the IDF was expressed given that yes, the IDF does kill people, and that's a tragic thing. On the other hand if not for the strength of the IDF I have no doubt that the Arab states would gladly wipe Israel off the map. As a Jew and a Zionist I therefore have to agree that the IDF is a great thing, despite the tragic actions it is forced to take in Israel's defense.
