Some semblance of normality has returned to daily life after two weeks of interrupted sleep involving running to and from the bomb shelter.
Elementary schools have resumed for a short period until the summer vacation starts on 30 June. Middle and High schools have already finished. Shops and businesses are opening again and the airport is busy coping with incoming and outgoing travelers.
It’s doubtful that there will be a major influx of tourists this summer.
The major tasks ahead are rebuilding and rehabilitating damaged and destroyed buildings as well as housing displaced families and providing medical care for the injured.
Hamas needs to be finally eliminated and our hostages released and returned.

NEW LIFE IN THE MIDST OF TERROR

Haifa was one of the cities being bombarded. The city’s main hospital moved facilities underground.

Meanwhile, new babies were being born at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba even as a missile slammed into the hospital.
This video illustrates not only the immense devotion and spirit of the medical staff but also the determination of mothers and families to bring new life into the world even in the midst of Iranian terror.
