Vooice from the conflict - reporting now

MARTINE GROSSMAN, NEAR AFULA, ISRAEL



I'm in the north, close by the Sea of Galilee. Five minutes ago we heard a siren and we dived into our shelter. We've just come back up.

People haven't left this village. Maybe it's stupid, but we feel quite safe - many of our houses have shelters. I'm worried, but on the other hand, where can we go?

My sister-in-law lives near Nahariya in the north. She came down to Afula to an aunt of her's, but they had no shelter, so she moved to another friend in the north. But missiles fell there, so she said where can I go? She went back home.

I'm not going to run around. I think we have to live our own lives as much as possible. It's hot here, it's not nice to be in the house all the time. But we don't want to go out because it's raining missiles at the moment.

I don't think Hezbollah's aim is very accurate. They killed two Israeli Arabs in Nazareth on Wednesday. It's terror. They're terrorising everybody, not just Jews.

I live in an area that's half Jewish and half Arab. We really live together, we have no problems. Somehow Nasrallah [Hezbollah leader] is trying to destroy that. He's trying to destroy a society that can live side by side.
