The population in Israel has had 6 days of pre-alerts and sirens (two super-loud pre-alerts and one very very loud siren for each directive to enter the bomb shelter).
The pre-alert gives enough time for a few minutes' preparation before the siren. Once the siren sounds, there's not enough time to do anything but
grab the cell phone and get into the bomb shelter and secure the door.
It's stressful and tiring, especially in the middle of the night, yet we know it's saving lives.
Home Front Command has lightened up a little on the Red-level restrictions and brought it down to Orange level, meaning that businesses can open and 50-person gatherings can be held IF they have a bomb shelter reachable in the prescribed defense time for everyone on premises (can be anywhere from 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes, depending on the city's location).
However, traveling to get to that business means taking a risk without cover. Staying in proximity to a bomb shelter is the way to be safe.
Educational frameworks have not opened, and all children are home --Home Front Command is considering distance-learning (zoom) starting on
Sunday.
Just really wanted to thank you all for your prayers and support - we have a big aid container docking in Haifa next week, which will help everyone that is struggling financially.

This month we're collecting donations for Passover foods for Holocaust Survivors, elderly, disabled, and struggling families.
These things are a timely comfort for Israelis. Thank YOU all so much for your help.
