Sipping Lattes as Air Raid Sirens Wail in Tel Aviv


It’s business as usual for many in Tel Aviv, despite the latest onslaught of rockets aimed at the city by Palestinian militants in Gaza. The Washington Post describes the “surreal atmosphere of normalcy” that has persisted in Tel Aviv even as rockets reached farther into Israel than ever before. Part of the sense of calm is due to Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system -which has successfully intercepted all five rockets fired at Tel Aviv.
