@Jtruzmah Everything here is surreal which can mislead: the slow motion of the fireflies, the gentle mid-air ballet. In reality, it's akin to the Battle of Britain: high drama, split-second decisions, lives threatened, even ruined. Hamas with its incomprehensibly-large armory is ruthless.
@Jtruzmah Though it's coming to us via video, TV, the web, this isn't reality TV. It's reality period. Almost none of the mainstream news reports (especially the Europeans) convey this. The adherence to their networks' corporate-sanctioned narratives is appalling. 
@Jtruzmah A rising sense among Israeli commentators tonight that Hamas has been allowed to take the initiative, to set the pace of escalation, to define the timing. And that this isn't in Israel's interests. At a time of transition, the big questions center on Israel's political coherence.
@Jtruzmah Now just after 10 pm Israel time and in Israel TV coverage we're following they're saying that in the skies of Gaza, no IDF forces are currently engaged. Calm before the storm? Reviewing strategy? Prime Minister and Minister Ganz both to speak in next few minutes.
