This is our own Broadway show, what else is there to do around here?...

It's 2:05am and I just got back from the bomb shelter. Just like yesterday, we heard a whistle and then a huge explosion. Then, the siren went off. We decided to go into the bomb shelter because after yesterday, who knows what might happen here.
An hour before that we went up to one of the neighborhoods in Metulla that face Lebanon in order to get a "private show" of the war. Yes, I know, we are crazy Metullaians... We were sitting there, watching the sky being lit up as the tanks are firing, what an incredible yet sad view. After a while an officer who's also a resident of Metulla advised us to leave. It turned out Hezbollah was shelling mortars at Metulla. It's so hard to tell the difference and which is which between all the explosions.
It's 2:30am now and I just came back from another 'round' at the bomb shelter... It's probably a sign to end this post. This is really getting old. Who knows if I'll get any sleep tonight. Wish me luck.

Don't worry. The IDF will get rid of all the sand monkeys soon enough. Meanwhile, just sit tight.

Daphna,
I read your blog and took the liberty of forwarding the URL to O'Reilly (FOX news). FOX is publishing the blog of Spencer Witte a student currently in Beirut so it seems only "Fair and Balanced" to publish one from you (hope this is OK with you). I'm sorry you are going through this, it seems only yesterday we were going into Lebanon. At the time I was in the IAF at the Techni. Hopefully this time there will be some resolution and some peaceful nights to come. Your blog is very helpful thank you for posting.
Hang in there,
Dikla
