Early Morning in Gaza

For the first time in my visit to Gaza I got scared....

This morning after the sunrise prayer in the local mosque...at about 4:40 AM and 3 minutes away from my home...as I got out of the mosque and walked back to my home, there was a number of Israeli airplanes or helicopters making noises in the air surveying the ground underneath them to see if they could find any targets to shot. The night before the radio said to be careful as Israelis are up to something and avoid being out in cars of carrying suspicious items, anything that could be mistaken for a rocket. I hurried home and did not believe it to make it home without being shot at...I know the local kids are laughing at me for getting scared form such a "regular" event...but I really freaked out.

Thought to let you know...
