After the attack comes the attack? That is what many people in Israel are asking themselves after the rocket attack by Hezbollah on Sunday. And they are fed up with waiting.
It is just before five o’clock on a Sunday morning when the doors in Red Bitton’s house shake on their hinges. The shutters rattle and a thundering noise above the roof startles the 23-year-old. Fighter jets.
“The war is really starting now,” she thinks when she wakes up – that’s how she tells it a few hours later on the phone. Bitton lives near the Israeli border with Lebanon, in the village of Gita. She has heard rockets from the terrorist militia Hezbollah and Israeli jets over and over again in recent months. But on this Sunday morning there are so many missiles from the north that she stops counting. Later it will become clear that Hezbollah fired more than 300 rockets and drones towards Israel.
