Lisa Reports from the Israel/Lebanon Border

My friend Lisa, a freelance journalist who lives in Tel Aviv, reports in her blog On the Face about her experiences on the border of Israel and Lebanon in an article titled Welcome to the Shooting Gallery.

…and how even amidst all the altillery fire, some businesspeople try to go about with the daily routine, as shown in this photo of the breakfast spread at a guest house in Metulla called Beit Shalom, which translates from Hebrew as “House of Peace”:

Lisa updates her Flickr photostream regularly, so be sure to check that out too.

Stay safe, Lisa!
