We’ve been in the shelter 16 times since yesterday – each time for at least half an hour and a couple flights of stairs.  There are about 20 people with us – 8 are old people like us, 4 are a family of neighbors who decided that our shelter is safer than theirs, and 8 are students and their visitors.  The old people keep checking their phone and share news, often undesirable news.  The neighbors whitely keep to themselves, and the students seem to be making a bit of a party out of being together – but I have forgotten my Arabic and don’t know what they are discussing.  Since citizens started getting killed by these enormous rockets, all of us have toned our voices down.  Todaydiscussion, of the situation, made us all feel a little toned down.
