the nurse friend reports....

The rumours aren't of the bakery itself being hit, rather, the kikar next to the bakery, and sorry Buchbut, the idol in the center of the kikar being destroyed. (....take out your wrath on the nations that don't know You... etc, etc,). There have been three reported ketyushot hits in maalot since three this afternoon. That one, another in the Sigaliot neighbourhood and some Matnas destroyed? All unconfirmed rumours, except for the sigaliot one, which landed by my co-workers house. She saw the shrapnel fly by, and is now gathering up her children and running to Lod. Smart person...
As are we, in another fifteen minutes, when I can close Kupat Cholim for the night. (Unless people start coming. Please don't!) We're planning on going to join our kids who are hanging out having the time of their lives in Modi'in.

Reports of a quiet night last night are false. There were booms all night, they just got a bit louder about five in the morning. Those of us on sleeping pills are oblivious.....

There's smoke in the air. Reports from 106 (we call hourly for updates) claim no injured, and light damage in ma'alot. Fire has been sighted in the wadi just after the gas station on the left as you drive from Nahariya to Ma'alot. Galildoc has a cool movie of it..... Now there's lots of small planes overhead... guess they're scouting out the damage. (or maybe it's hizbullah looking for more targets?)

....that's the update from the front lines, reporting live from Kupat Cholim Meuhedet.
