Hoy alrededor de las 2pm sono una sirena. Todos los viernes, 40 minutos y 10 minutos antes de Shabbat suena la sirena para advertir a todos que Shabbat esta por comenzar. Esta es bastante particular.
Sin embargo hoy, martes, fue una sirena bien fuerte. Distinta. Alarmante y MUY diferente a la de Shabbat. La verdad es que me asusto bastante porque se que cuando hay sirenas es para advertir a la poblacion que el pais esta en estado de guerra o en alerta. La alarma habra sonado por unos cinco minutos laaaaaaaaaargos.
Se me enfrio el cuerpo en un instante. Mire por la ventana y vi gente parada mirando, como perpleja, paralizada. Se me cruzaron todo tipo de pensamientos por mi cabeza. Especialmente porque, como recordaran, vivo en una zona donde hay bastantes arabes. Y especialmente en este tiempo donde las noticias se leen en todos los diarios del mundo acerca de la alianza del Hamas. En fin, se termino la sirena. Me cambie y sali en camino al trabajo.
Me tomo el colectivo de todos los dias. Hacemos unos metros y un carro de la policia cruzaba la calle de lado a lado y no dejaba pasar autos ni transeuntes. Mi miedo fue mayor. A los diez minutos se escuchan unos disparos. El corazon latia como cuando corres esa cuadra para alcanzar al bondi que se te va... esta vez con preocupacion...
Despues de 45 minutos nos dejan pasar. Llego al trabajo y me cuentan que hoy habia una especie de prueba, un famoso "drill". Gracias a D-s fue solo un susto.
Today around 2pm a loud siren went off. Every Friday, around 40 minutes and 10 minutes before Shabbat a siren goes off to warn us all that Shabbat is about to start. This siren is very unique one.
Nevertheless today, Tuesday, a different kind of siren went off... was a very loud one... Alarming and VERY different from the one from Shabbat. The truth is that I got scared because I was told there are sirens to warn the civilians when there's a war or a military alert.
The alarm today went off for about five minutes, the longest five minutes ever! Can you imagine what goes through your head in a moment like this after reading so many news about Hamas and the Palestinean Government alliance. It gave me chills for a moment.
I checked out through the window and saw people watching, they stood like frozen and seemed to look perplex while hearing this disturbing sound blasting. All type of thoughts crossed my mind. (Keep in mind I live in an area where there's a large population of Arabs)
After the siren finally stopped I got ready to work and headed to catch the bus. Once on the bus we got few meters on the road and we had to stop cause there was a police car blocking the street from side to side.
The policemen didn't let cars or people walking by to come across the area. At that moment my fear was greater. I didn't understand what could possibly be, although I was fearing for the worst. After ten minutes you could hear some shootings. At that moment my heart pumped like when you run breathless to catch a bus only few meters away...
...After 45 minutes they let us go...
Once I got to work they told me today there was a drill from the army... Thanks G-d it was only a drill...
