After enjoying a quiet night things warmed up during the morning. We think that Hezbollah missiles, which were the first to hit Haifa, were fired from a lemon orchard at the bottom of the hill, about 2 km from the house. There was a very rapid response, with four Israeli missiles hitting the location, but by then the missile launcher must have been moved on. Anticipating more reprisals, we took refuge for a while in a neighbour’s basement, which was in a less prominent position on the hillside than our house. We returned home early in the afternoon when things were generally quiet. Israel started to issue warnings to people in the south to go north, as they were planning retaliation against Hezbollah for rocket attacks on Haifa. A number of people we know in Tyre decided to take this advice and went to Sidon, the Chouf area and even Beirut. We decided to stay.
In the middle of war, we still had advertisements during the evening local TV news promoting the speed with which Libanpost would deliver your mail and the merits of Dewar’s whisky.
