Israel expecting another Iraqi missile attack - Eitan Vazani. ------------------------------------------------------------- . It is night again, almost midnight. I spent the last several hours in my girlfriends house. We already had an alarm. Again, with beating hearts, we ran into the sealed room and wore the gas masks. Again, fear and uncertainty. It took 15 minutes until the army announced that we can relax, there is no missile attack. This happened because of an information about an attack, which proved to be incorrect. At the same time, we learned later, there was also an alarm in Saudi- Arabia and Bahrain. . I am sitting to write again. It is 1:15 am and I just finished watching TV (Wise Guy). In the middle we had another alarm. This time my brother (who came back from the army for a vacation), was the first to notice. We jumped on our feet and rushed to wake up our parents. Until they woke up, the alarm stopped. We listened to the radio - nothing, just music. Within several minutes we heard the cancellation alarm. A minute later the radio informed us that we can relax. Another minute passed and we were informed that this happened due to a Soviet satellite launch or destruction. . We are becoming very sensitive and very nervous. We are virtually waiting for an attack. We jump to every sound louder than usual. This is a very heavy load on our nerves, but we won't break down. There are no signs of panic in Israel. No one is trying to escape to the (safe) south. The TV and radio people are doing wonderful job. They sound calm and relaxed all the time, even when the alarms sound, and even when a missile attack is going on outside. We, and probably the rest of the Western countries, are waiting to see in which way Israel will reply Saddam's missiles. We have a feeling that a surprise is being planned for Saddam. Maybe it won't be soon, but he will be punished. . I guess I'll play some more games. Maybe I'll try some fighter pilot simulation, and imagine that I am bombing Iraqi missile sights... . Nervous, tired, but strong, patient and proud, Eitan Vazani, Israel.
