Tonight I went to the protest in Tel Aviv. On my walk home from the bus stop, my sister called "have you heard the news?" We are on full alert - no school tomorrow, events have been cancelled, Jordan has closed their airspace, drones have been sent from Iran. They take 9 hours to get here, so there will only be alarms when they get really close. They think they will go for military installations first. Hezbollah may fire rockets from Lebanon and that is a far shorter distance. The army spokesman and all the top brass are telling us to listen to commands from the municipalities. They keep assuring us they have ways of defending us. What the hell else can they say? America and Biden at the helm are on full alert.
If nothiing else, Iran has won a psychological war - to say this is nervewracking is the mildest and most stupid thing I can say. I was nearly killed tonight in Tel Aviv by a young woman cyclist who went through the red light - I was crossing on green, and she stopped just seconds from running me over. "Sorry" she said. At least that. Everyone's nerves are shattered.
What I am now going to do is have a cup of camomile tea and I am going to bed. I do have a backpack ready, and we still have 90 seconds to get to the shelters. That is quite a long time.
Prayers for the world, please.

Yes prayers in abundance and oceans of chamomile tea.
