There are so many things that need to be said right now, and I'm not really one for serious posts. There are a million things on Facebook, and yet half of my friends don't even know whats going on. Gaza has been hitting Israel with rockets for three years, more than ever this year. And now with the Hamas military leader, Ahmed al-Jabari, has been killed by the IDF, the situation is really getting heated.
I'm safe at the moment. I was just on the
phone with my Dad, and he said a very true statement. "If any army is
going to keep you safe, it'll be the Israeli one." the IDF is amazing
beyond words. Please keep yourself informed on how they keep me and this state safe. This won't be over tonight.
A rocket hit two miles from where I live. Two miles. I never thought I would actually hear a rocket or bomb go off, and I know I don't ever want to hear one again. But the fact of the matter is, I probably will.
We're at war ladies and gentlemen. This much is true.
As always,
Julia Rose
