Facts on the Ground

I was sitting in Elia’s office when our conversation was interrupted by his cell
phone. I was used to this already so I just sat back while he took the call. When
he hung up, he told me that the person who just called was an old friend of his
from when he was young. They went to university together and now he lived in
Gaza. He was telling him that Israeli planes were flying really low overhead and
creating sonic booms that were scaring his kids and everyone else.
