Six


I've never been more scared in my life than when the bombs fell on Haifa, on the 7th. It seemed as if they were just behind me. I could hear the not-so-distant clatter of shrapnel, and as the ground shook in succession as the rockets hit home in various spots around us I stood mesmerized at what used to be a four-story building, now a heap of rubble. It is a completely different thing to live it.

I took this picture later, when I felt safer.
