Eve Harow describes her (full) bus trip for One Israel Fund to the Western Negev just 2 days ago. Everywhere they went, including roads, antiquities, memorials and modern communities are, as of this broadcast, closed and under the highest alert waiting for a likely murderous Hamas rocket response to Israel’s Shield and Arrow Operation, aimed in a pinpoint fashion at removing Gaza's Islamic Jihad terrorists from doing more harm.

What a difference a few hours make; how important it was to visit and understand and connect with the permanent residents of these areas.

Adele Raemer of Kibbutz Nirim outside Gaza joined Eve for a few tense minutes to share her reality, staying 15 seconds from a shelter but not evacuating, sending dispatches and keeping people apprised of the situation. Follow her at Zioness on the Border and Life on the Border with Gaza.

Everything can change in a flash- this podcast is a glimpse into the moment. May Israel prevail, now and in the future.
