>Hi all,


I got this yesterday. Since some are wondering, 
here's something directly from Israel. It's from a friend.

Blessings,

Linda

>Subject: Evening update 7/15/14 - EVP Firefights on the ground in the south
>EVP Eitan
>Cease fire starts....and ends.
>Israel's first fatality - civilian bringing food to soldiers in the South.
>115+ rockets fall on Israel from Eilat and to Megiddo in the North.
>First EVP firefighter contingent on the ground 
>and working with Israel fire crews
>in the South
>At a cabinet meeting at 7:00 a.m. this morning, 
>the Israel government accepted the
>terms of the Egyptian brokered cease fire with 
>the Hamas. At 9:00 a.m. Israel time
>the Israel government ordered a halt to all 
>military action against Gaza. The country
>waited to see what would happen as the Hamas 
>military wing had stated that the cease
>fire wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. 
>Within minutes, rockets were launched
>from Gaza into Israel, time after time and the 
>IDF remained silent. Finally, at
>approximately 1:00 p.m. the government gave the 
>IDF the go ahead to resume operations
>against the Hamas.
>What is strange (but predictable) is that during 
>the time that Israel observed the
>cease fire and the Hamas didn't, pro-palestinian 
>groups around the world didn't utter
>a word. All of a sudden, they had nothing to say. I have just one word -
>hypocrisy!
>115+ rockets today
>As of this moment, 115 rockets have fallen in 
>Israel from the south and as far North
>as Megiddo. Iron Dome, as usual
>, performed admirably, intercepting many rockets 
>that would otherwise have fallen
>on heavily populated area.
>Our First Fatality
>Close to the border with Gaza, Israel suffered 
>its first fatality - a 37 year old
>man was distributing food and soft drinks to 
>soldiers along the border when he was
>hit by a mortar shell. Despite attempts by 
>medical teams to save him, he died from
>his wounds.
>Rockets in Eilat
>Last night two rockets fell on the city of Eilat 
>causing great damage but no casualties.
>According to the IDF, the rockets were fired from Sinai.
>Political upheaval
>Prime Minister Netanyahu has dismissed Deputy 
>Minister of Defense, Danny Danon, for
>criticising the government for not starting a ground campaign in Gaza.
>EVP Firefighters
>The first contingent of the EVP Firefighters 
>team consisting of firefighters from
>across the United States has deployed to their 
>fire stations across the south. For
>security reasons we cannot give their exact 
>postings. They have joined their Israel
>brothers and are working side by side with them 
>providing the support and protection
>that the people of the south need. Our thanks to 
>these heroes and to their families
>for their commitments and courage!
>Just Landed and ready to go
>Briefing
>Meeting the Israelis
>With their crew
>Hard at work but happy
>Food at last
>Pizza is universal
>We will continue to update you. We ask that you 
>keep the EVP firefighters in your
>thoughts and your prayers.
