We’re living tense and difficult times in Israel with daily ballistic missiles attacks from Iran with casualties and huge damage, but also with a very strong feeling that we’ll prevail and we’ll win this war. We just don’t have a choice, people say that in all the wars there are “interests”, yes, we have one interest: living.

We are a country with big contrasts, with moments of joy and of pain changing very quickly.

The “Mazel Tov” sign was put up to celebrate the city of Bat Yam winning the National Education Prize, this week a missile hit a building in the city killing 8 people.
