It's unholy. I'm Inite Levian Tel Aviv. And I'm Jonathan Friedland, usually in London,

currently in Sydney, Australia. Hi, Jonathan. I mean, a disclaimer, I haven't slept much,

which is to say not at all, really. So I'm doing my best, but adjectives and nouns together,

that is basically what I can have, what I can do this conversation.

We've had a few updates over the week, and the last one was talking about what it feels like

to be under fire in Tel Aviv. And this morning, I thought to myself, after there were three

alerts in the span of like, I think, an hour and a half between 3 a.m. and 4.30. I admire anyone who can go back to

sleep after that. I couldn't. But I thought of trying to tell you how your brain in emergency

mode has this function where it feels like a lifeboat, I think, where only the things that are

very urgent can stay on the boat and the rest needs to be discarded.

So that is where we are. I mean, it's thinking about the next couple of hours or the next, you know, a couple of days, but nothing beyond that. Anything beyond that is like a very dark, vast ocean that my brain can't even, you know, calculate. So these are my feelings right now. How are you doing? Yeah, we'll come to that in a minute,

but I bet you're speaking for most of your fellow Israelis when you say that living. I mean,

I'm impressed that you're able to think on a sort of hours horizon. I would have thought it

be minutes, and specifically actually just to the getting through the next siren. I mean,

just I know, because we've been texting and so on, that, you know, you're in the middle of something. And then, sorry, got to go, sirens, you're back to the shelters. You explained that in our last update. And, you know, I think people really got a glimpse there of something that actually is often not in the reporting because it's all about geopolitics

and strategy strategy but what it translates into and it will be going on across the middle east is

rushing shelters panic alarm and that's going on all over there are stranded besides the people

who live in the in the region there are stranded travelers all over the world who are suddenly

getting a taste of that themselves whether in the gulf are stranded travellers all over the world who are suddenly getting a taste of that themselves

where they're in the Gulf states and so on.

But you've been living in,

there's been some interesting changes
