A hard week is over

.

The bad news: a bomb went off in a Tel Aviv bus today.
The good news: the bus was not crowded, the bomb was small, no one was killed.

The best news: a ceasefire went into effect at 9:00 pm tonight.
.
UPDATE:  I should clarify that "no one was killed" does not mean that no one on the bus was injured; more than 20  people were taken to the nearby hospital. 
.
Thursday night update: Police is now announcing that the suspects were caught within a few hours of the bombing.

  8. Friends, thanks for your concern, prayers, and good wishes during the last week. Let's hope this ceasefire is taken seriously.

    Clarification: I added an update because although no one was killed by the bus bomb, 21 people were injured. I should have said that from the beginning.

  10. I saw that on TV tonight, but they didn't say if anyone was killed. I'm glad everyone survived but horrified at the casualties. Please stay safe, Dina. I heard about the cease fire. I just hope it sticks.
