I took a bus back and forth from Tel Aviv today. I must admit that I was a touch apprehensive. "C", a woman who was like a mother to me when I spend the year doing research here a few years back warned me when I saw her on Sunday not to Go to the center of town or use public transportation.
Naturally I ignored this advice, but promised to be careful. I was. I kept my eyes peeled for anything suspicious. I did breath a sigh of relief each time I got off safely.
I heard a few minutes ago that Israel launched an airstrike that killed the head of the military wing of Hamas together with his family. I suspect that there is a bumpy road ahead.
