Nurit Ben:
Really is hard to overstate the shock and terror, quite frankly, that this coordinated surprise attack has caused the shaping up to be clearly the worst ever terror attack on Israeli civilians, and also the biggest intelligence failure since the Yom Kippur War half a century ago.
As you also mentioned, the rocket fire we've been hearing that recently, late into this evening, rockets actually landing in four different locations in central Israel, including in Tel Aviv with some injuries reported. So you know, John, one of the surreal parts of this day has been listening to Israeli television and radio news throughout the day. And I think that's a sort of good barometer of how Israeli citizens have been feeling.
It's sort of turned into a helpline with really desperate people calling in sharing their stories and asking for information about their loved ones about people that they could not track down. And really even now, some 18 hours after Hamas launched those attacks, there is an incredibly thick fog of war. And maybe the only thing is that we are far away from the end of this war.
