We wake up to the news that our response to the shelling of the area in the south a few days ago has finally begun.  The emphasis in our news is on the killing of some of the instigators of the attack on Israel – 3 Jihad leaders.  

I don’t know how many Israelis wake up to the news – but even those with incredibly busy mornings of getting kids ready for school and getting themselves ready for work, taking out the dog, and making breakfast with lunch to go, even they have one ear on the news.    

Will they have to pack their bags and get ready to clear the area because an attack is about the occur, maybe even a war?  Will they have to move into their shelters?  Our seemingly easy, methodical lives are so tentative.
