High Tensions, more Grads, false alarm in Jerusalem

Israel is as tense as a bowstring today. After 60 hours of quiet, Red Alert sierns sounded in Ashdod and all over the south of Israel. One rocket fell in an open field on the outskirts of town at 1 PM local time. Sirens sounded all over Jerusalem, and the entire city was imagining the worst-case scenarios until it was discovered that the whole deal was a false alarm. The reason for high tensions all over the country was the Katyusha rockets that were fired from Lebanon at Kiryat Shemona this morning at 8:30 AM. Nasralla is playing a game of "chicken" with us. If that's not all, shots have been fired in the last 48 hours at Israeli soldiers from Syria and Jordan.

Why all the tension? Hashem wants us to talk to Him.

Last night, I wrote that the Hamas is far from finished. Today's barrages unfortunately agree, as do other people. We need a ceasefire with Hashem.
