ISRAEL'S FLAG


The flag of Israel was designed by a man called David Wolffsohn.

He chose two elements for the flag.
The first was the colours of blue and white, to represent the tallit (Jewish prayer shawl)
and the second was the Magen David (Star of David) which had been used as a Jewish symbol for a long time.

It's now almost 11:30 at night and we just heard the roar of several planes flying overhead, going north. This is very unusual, and not a good sign.

Three rockets from southern Lebanon were fired into the western Galilee on Thursday. Yesterday another bank of katushyas was found in southern Lebanon, not far from Mt. Hermon, which means straight north from Kiryat Shmonah. There has been an increase of rhetoric on the airways by leaders of Hisballah. They deny the rockets are theirs (they probably do belong to splinter Palestinian groups), but are talking big about how Israel is in their sights, and they will defend themselves against all attacks by the Zionists. I don't think anyone wants to be dragged into a new front, but all it takes is one incident.
