Every night since last Friday, when Israel launched surprise military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, I've gone to bed at night braced for the alert that will send me and my family racing down to the shelter.
It's the same for everyone I know. We are all targets of revenge missile attacks by the Islamic Republic, after Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Operation Rising Lion to destroy what he says is an existential threat to the Jewish state.
So far the nightly barrages have killed 24 Israelis and injured hundreds more.
Yet the Israeli resolve remains firm, and Netanyahu has the overwhelming backing of the public in the war against Iran.
This, despite his long history as a divisive political figure who some blame for the security failings on October 7, 2023 when the Iranian-funded terrorists of Hamas massacred 1,200 Israelis, starting the war in Gaza.
