"The gunfire became more and more intense, and we
heard several explosions. We tried to relax and take the attitude of
the Palestinians we have talked to who upon seeing our tears tell
us... "This is our life. We don't get upset. This is just the way it
is. We actually SAW the "rockets red glare and bombs
bursting in air." It's unbelievable they live with this nightmare
all the time."
