VIDEO - Roee Yakobovich, 31, who manages the "Friends of the Ziv hospital" project, sent the following e-mail to his friends and acquaintances: "Dear friends: Attached is a short video taped by my father (from my parents' home in Safed, launched by my younger brother). It portrays 40 seconds of what has been constantly going on here for the last 28 days it catches one rocket of the 3,200 that have fallen on Israel so far. It will show you how a rocket attack really looks and how little warning we receive. I would appreciate it if you would pass this on to your friends, and ask them to pass it on as well. Thank you and have a nice day." Warning to those who are not used to sirens: Sound byte contains frightening sirens 40 seconds of life in the north (Video: Yossi Yakobovich) Yakobovich elaborates later: "My father spontaneously made the video. He heard sirens and just thrust his camera out of the window, seeing almost nothing and with no way of knowing where the rockets would fall." Devoid of commentary or criticism, the Yakobovich family's video provides a glimpse into the rocket-plagued lives of hundreds of thousands of residents of the north: Sirens. Crash. Smoke. Once again, a picture is truly worth a thousand words. "People who received the mail saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears what's been happening to us. The reactions were frenzied, both in Israel and abroad." Despite the tumultuous atmosphere, Yakobovich doesn't intend to leave his city or his job. He hopes that this video will help encourage donations to finance respirators for the Ziv Hospital in Safed, which received numerous patients as a result of the rocket attacks on the north and is in dire need of more emergency medical equipment. More importantly, he hopes for peace and quiet.
