Israel-Gaza: Israel poised for intensive night of strikes - BBC News
Israel's military is preparing for more strikes on Hamas’s tunnel network in Gaza, a spokesman says.
The BBC OS radio show on the World Service has been speaking to people across Israel and Gaza to hear their stories and experiences. Today they spoke to a Jewish Israeli mother in the city of Lod, which has seen unrest and violence.

Katy Berman, a mother of seven and teacher:

"I personally did not leave the house for 4 days, I was so scared, scared I would get a rock thrown through my car window, scared someone would ambush me...

"When I met my (Arab) neighbour we spoke about how we felt the night before when we were woke up umpteen times by the sirens. Because rockets are coming, and on top of the rioting we’re having rockets sent over by Hamas in Gaza. So we spoke as two mothers you know, ‘how did you sleep at night?’ and ‘how did your kids sleep at night', and how scary is it.

"My older kids are very worried about the situation, they’re worried in the way they wish they were here and could help and do something. With my younger kids, they don’t really know what’s going on….. I’m not sure what to tell them, I’m not sure what they’ll understand, how they’ll go in the street – I don’t want them to be scared."
