The suburban frontline

"The house right across the street was hit. It's not like World War II but it's a long term, ongoing kind of action that is causing a lot of insecurity and tension and anxiety. So people are traumatised even though there's no colossal damage ... of course [there's] the bombs that Israel sends to Gaza. But that doesn't change the fact that you can't find one person in Sderot who's not been traumatised in one way or another by this endless conflict."

I recently visited Sderot, the Israeli town one kilometre from Gaza that is routinely targeted in rocket attacks. You can read the entire report here.
