My Comment: If one would think of a most terrifying event they had in their life happen and the fear they experienced, but then it ended BUT NOT FOR THESE PEOPLE  this should help us to better understand the heartache these people who have rockets flying over them NON STOP are feeling!!!! I have Jets that fly over not very often and I just do not like the looks of them and my heart is so heavy to think these people have to view this daily makes me want to pray more for their safety………………………

 

(CNN) — The rockets start raining down at her kibbutz usually around late morning.

That leaves Adele Raemer precious little time to walk her two dogs and then dash into the shower.

Because when those rockets arrive — triggering air raid sirens that fill the air with short, shrill howls — she has to be ready to duck and take cover in her indoor bomb shelter.

There, all she can do is wait.

No escape from Gaza violence

Phone calls warn civilians of airstrikes

Will there be ground operation in Gaza?

Israel steps up airstrikes against Hamas

Rockets, sirens soundtrack life in Sderot

On the other side of the border, across the security fence in Gaza, Rasha has no safe room to run to.

The fighter jets can come any time, day or night.

And in this place, one of the most congested on earth, there’s a high probability that if a bomb falls nearby, it might destroy her house, too.

So, all she can do is pray.

This isn’t what life was always like for either woman. But ever since the long simmering tension between Israelis and Palestinians flared up this week, rockets and airstrikes have crisscrossed between Gaza and Israel.

  1. Hayden……………Yes I too can count the bolts on the jets as they fly past, and helicopters as well! I am awaiting the day when men will learn peace, but I’m afraid that will not be as is written only when our Saviour appears will there be peace and this is the hope of every Christian’s heart and we will one day see it as promised. Just have to continue in prayer and place our faith in the one who is able to keep us through it all. God bless You.

  2. It is so sad that the innocent ones, both in Israel and in Gaza are the ones who suffer. Those who are just living and raising their families. Most in Gaza have no say in what the hamas jihadists do. They would, no doubt pay a high price if they said anything at all.
    On the other hand, Israel’s people are living in terror of the many missles of death coming at them continually. Israel must attempt to protect it’s citizens. I pray for the soon return of the PRINCE of PEACE+ to put an end to all of this kind of event.

    Yes Sister, those planes fly over this house too, sometimes so low one can count the bolts on the bottom. Large flying machines designed to destroy human beings en masse. I don’t like them either.
    I long for the DAY;
    HE+ makes war to cease to the ends of the earth, HE+ breaks the bow and shatters the spear, HE+ burns the war chariots with fire! ( Psalm 45:9)
    Maranatha! Come quickly LORD JESUS! Amen + + +
