Default Report from Israel

My daughter-in-law forwarded this email received from her sister, Carole
in Israel. (David is her brother).

======================================

We are dodging the bombs and all of us are o.k. Adam and Ronit have
gone to the center of the country to work and study. Naomi has gone
with friends to a New year's Eve party north of Tel Aviv and will
probably stay there. Hillel and Shalom are, of course, in the army.
David's area has not been hit yet and is on the fringe of the area the
bombs can reach but they have a good bomb shelter in their house.
Debbie also has a bomb shelter in her house for the 3 kids that are home
- school as been cancelled - and it's a good thing because Yeshai's
school was bombed today and if the children had gone we would have had a
real tragedy. Hamas has fired over 30 large rockets into Israel today -
and it's only 2:00 in the afternoon. It really is a miracle that more
people haven't been hurt. We are passing truckloads of humanitarian
needs into Gaza for the innocent Palestinians - and there are many of
them. We are also accepting badly wounded Palestinian children into our
hospitals. Nothing good can possibly come out of this stupid war -
except of course - the end of Hamas (we hope).

In the meantime we are going to work and surviving so don't worry too much.

The end of Hamas would be a boon for mankind, but I don't see it
happening anytime soon.
