July 17

Today we had a 5 hour ceasefire while the UN took humanitarian aid into Gaza.  Of course, Hamas did not really cease firing, they just slowed down how many rockets they shot into Israel.  Then when the ceasefire ended, Hamas made up for lost time by shooting 50 rockets into Israel in the next four hours.  Nothing has changed in Jerusalem, but Tel Aviv is still getting a lot of Code Reds.  The siren apparently even went off in the airport today.  Fortunately the Iron Dome's are doing their job quite well.  It was reported recently that in this conflict they have had a 90% success rate.
