Yesterday I received a message from a friend whom I have known for 10 years. For understandable reasons, he does not wish his name to be published.
He wrote:

“In the last two hours, more than 5 rockets have landed near my house, and even shells have hit my garden. Some rockets struck houses just 20 meters away. We think of death more than life 😢”

This morning, he wrote:
“It was one of the worst nights. Airstrikes hit several buildings around my home. Helicopters and drones were firing all night.
3 days ago, they targeted the street next to mine, killing 3 people and injuring 10. Last night, they attacked the refugee school that now serves as a shelter—14 people were killed.
The school is just 50 meters from my home, and there are many shell fragments in my garden. I’m not worried about myself, but the children are in a terrible state and fear for them.”
You can see the video from my home.
