I can hear the explosions overhead as I write from the bomb shelter in our back yard. Deafening. With each explosion, one of my children jumps with fear.
Iran is hitting back with a non-stop barrage of ballistic missiles.
We only hope our defence systems keep us safe, as they did last time Iran launched a blitz last autumn. It’s been a very long day.
The first indication I had that Israel’s long-awaited operation to take out Iran’s nuclear weapons programme was under way came in the early hours of yesterday morning in the form of a high-pitched shriek from my mobile phone.
Such alerts are nothing new in Israel these days.
