“New Order.”  That’s what they are calling the decimation of Nasrallah now.  And, indeed, I woke up humming, “Ding dong, the witch is dead…”  But, the rockets from the north continue, and the attempts to reach Tel Aviv have not ceased.  Safed is the worst hit, but the Arab villages in the north are all under fire and they are less ready for such attacks.

And what of the hostages?  what will become of them?

I want to celebrate but I have never celebrated the death of anyone, and I don’t think we should celebrate anything before the hostages are back and Lebanon is prepared with a recovery plan. 

In any case, the children are coming for lunch and for the first time in a year I have not prepared the escape route to the shelter.
