Straight from the Gaza Strip: This is an email my aunt Janet (who lives in Israel) sent to her sister Judy today. Judy's son (my cousin) Daniel is in the Israeli army with our other cousin in the Gaza Strip at this historic time. "Dan just called me a few times. He's in Kfar Darom (where we were, Mom) and it's one of the extremist settlements where people are on the roof of some building. Dan is really a part of history here. He's standing outside one of the homes with all the soldiers who are so cute, so special, so young!!!! Can't believe how they must be suffering in probably 105 degrees or more. They send girl officers into these homes first ? if you can watch any of this today, Jude, on your satellite it's unreal. Dan sounds ok, just had to take out an old man with a baby or something."
