I woke up yesterday morning with a phone call from my daughter in Tel Aviv to tell me that she and the kids
were in the shelter .
Total absolute shock and suprise .
We were told by home command to stay home and close to a shelter and to prepare for immanent
missile attacks .
So far the sirens went off once in my area but it was a mistake .
Im safe but my son was called up yesterday noon time and he is now in the south at the gaza border.
His wife is due to give birth to my 7th grandson any day now .
I dont have the words to express the anxiety and fear we are living with right now .
Whatever you see on the news or social media ......its worse .
There are many many missing and the death toll will be much higher .
