Latest from the war

And yes I do not really want to put this up...because it will freak out my sister.....BUT....I am going to do it..since it is becoming public knowledge:

This is from the Muqata:

2:04 PM IDF Homefront Command starts to distribute emergency directions for Rocket Attacks...in Tel Aviv. (source, see below for scanned copy)

With Hamas Rocket ranges now reaching 60 kilometers (as reported here at the Muqata, from Israel Radio), the IDF Homefront command has started preparing for the eventuality that Hamas rockets will reach the Tel Aviv area. Also included is the Beit Shemesh area, Modi'in, Ramla, Lod, Bnei Brak, Rechovot, Holon, Givaatayim, Petach Tikva...

Updated map coming soon.

What does this mean?  Well...basically that most of where were....while on vacation is potentially a target that can be reached by rockets from Gaza.  This is a major escalation in the war.  (We landed in Lod -  we lived in Tel Aviv...the Fed ex facility I was at was in Petach Tikva.  We drove by Modin, Ramle and Holon).  If Hamas can reach these targets they can basically reach Jerusalem as well.
