re: #6 Hecuba’s daughter

A good friend texted me a couple minutes ago that his great niece has been called up and is on base awaiting orders but has gone silent. My SIL doesn’t know the status of their family in Israel. A good friend who travels there at least once a year to visit her children and grandchildren said that so far they are all fine. Another friend has a daughter who lives in Israel but she happened to be visiting them in Chicago; she is still planning to return on her flight on Thursday but everything will depend on the situation at the time. She was a non-combat medic in the army and is not eligible to be called up for service.

From what I’ve read, the affected area from the Hamas attacks is within 20-30 miles of Gaza. The rest of Israel is seeing some random bombing attacks but nothing like what is happening in the near environs of Gaza.
