Israeli Recounts How Terrorists Invaded His Village
(New York Times) Patrick Kingsley - Amir Tibon and his neighbors in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, a village that stands a few hundred yards from Gaza, have become accustomed to frequent rocket fire from militants in Gaza. But soon after he took shelter on Saturday with his wife and two young daughters, he knew something was very different about this attack. The sound of gunfire. "There were terrorists inside the kibbutz, inside our neighborhood and - at some point - outside our window. We could hear them talk. We could hear them run. We could hear them shooting their guns at our house, at our windows." Neighbors were posting frantic messages. "People were saying, 'They are in my house, they are trying to break into the safe room!'"
