    Default Sirens in Israel

    At 10:00hrs today at Zulu Time Jerusalem, they set off all the Emergency sirens in Israel as a test. Pretty impressive. Slightly less so with some of the kids in a near by school playing "dead ant" in the play ground, and one of the guys renovating my house, actually sleeping through the alert! - he started at 07:00hrs!

    Lot of civil defence drills over the past couple of days. Makes for an interesting back drop to everyday life.

    - The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
    - If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.

    Hey Wilf !
    I suspect this has a slightly different effect on Israel's neighbors.

    ...Nothing like an air raid (drill) to get the blood flowing
