More Than 50 Miles Away

It would appear that Israeli troops have crossed the border into southern Gaza this morning to search for the kidnapped Israeli soldier. The IDF has also apparently strategically taken out several bridges and a power plant to effect their operation.

This activity is happening far to the southwest of us and had I not woken up in the middle of the night due to the feral cats fighting each other on our lovely street and thus checked my email to see two CNN news alerts, I would have had no idea that anything was going on because all is (mostly) quiet here in Rehavia.

This does make me wish we had a television here. Well, we get one in our new place on August first.

I'll pray for the success of the young men and women of the IDF in achieving their mission this morning.
