The day is done

Going to sleep now, very late after tracking the nights events.  There was the terror attack in Jerusalem where 17 were wounded and the only death was that of the terrorist, Thank G-d.  Also Thank G-d I was not near where it happened, and I am fine.  Some events that may have slipped the news are 2 other incidents.  

Firstly there was an arab terrorist woman who sprayed toxic acid in a soldiers face while driving by at a check point.  He now may need surgery and will lose his vision as well.  The woman was arrested, and associated with another similar incident.  

Secondly there was a group of travelers kidnapped in Egypt, and 2 of them were to thought to have been Israeli, thank G-d they are not.  The Egyptians want $15 million ransom.  You can find the article here: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127714 

 Other then that my day was a normal day at the Yeshiva.  I found it interesting that as soon as the terror attack happened in Jerusalem everyone became a tight knit network of information sharing so that everyone could have the latest news.  Even students from other yeshivot.  With the use of cell phones and texting we all communicated rapidly to keep everyone informed.  Since I have internet access, my room sort of became the command center of all this.  It was a  interesting process, and experience.  All part of living in the holy land, and living through its daily trials.  

I guess this has also become somewhat of a news blog as well, seeing as I am on the ground here with this network I speak of feeding me info.  I will try to update the blog as soon as something happens.  Have a good night all, and keep it here for the latest in the daily life of a student in the holy land.
