Last night I woke up in Givat Ela to the sounds of missiles being intercepted in Haifa, a 30 min drive away from where I was spending the night. And amidst these missiles tearing through the skies, I hear the morning prayer at the local mosque ring out.
Such a song to wake up to: prayers of the local mosque harmonizing with percussive intercepts coming from Lebanon.
After the mid-air explosions died down, I went to sleep.
The next morning, my family tells me this happens almost daily and they have an app that alerts you if a bomb near by so you can run to the safe room. Every home in Israel has a safe room with reinforced walls and metal coverings over the window.
The war has effected all aspects of life for everyone. It’s taking a toll.
