Studying under Rockets fire - Rockets launched to Jerusalem

Its been crazy in the last hour in Israel!

As I mentioned before, Im a student and now its time of final exams and summary papers.

Living in Sderot I cant focus at all at studying or writing my papers no matter how hard I try.

The noises of explosions hardly stops, alarms constantly turned on. 

I should point out though that In Sderot, Ashqelon Beersheva and other cities colleges and universities canceled tests and classes till further notice since in escalation when rockets are fired constantly no one can

really deal with this, running to shelters some people faint, some people have hard symptoms of stress and trauma. Still I don't want to let terrorists dictate my life and disrupt them because this is their goal. But damn I just cant do it!

So I was talking with a good friend of mine, Katya who lives in Ashdod, a city northern than Ashqelon that had rockets launched at them as well. We talked about this situation and that she is worried for her brother who is in active duty. As we were talking the alarm went on and I ran to shelter. But Hamas launched about 30 rockets together to different targets. At Sderot, Ashdod, BeerSheva, Tel-Aviv and other cities in the south and center of Israel and to Jerusalem, a city which is told to be holy to most of the world.

Don't you find it odd that terrorists like Hamas always talk about how much Jerusalem (al-quds as they call it) is a holy place for them? and the Al-Aqsa mosque? Than how can they dare bomb this city? and take the risk of ruining one of the holiest sites for them?
I guess that all this religious talk of Hamas and their fellow terrorist organizations is just lies! (surprise, surprise). They are heathens! not true believers! not of God or Allah, defenitley not Islam!

So now, AGAIN Jews, Muslims and Christians are under the terror of Hamas in what seems to be not just southen Israel but Half of Israel. Kids that cant stop crying, parents are hopeless, teens are terrefied, elders that cant even get on time to shelters, from all sectors and all ethnicities and all religions without distinction face this reality now. But even though we will push through we will walk tall for what we believe and what we stand for. WE WANT PEACE!

BTW thanks for everyone who read and spread the word about this blog you are amazing!
