Early Wednesday morning, the eerie wail of sirens shattered the calm over Tel Aviv, a city of life and culture now haunted by the ever-present threat of terrorism. Above my hotel, the Iron Dome soared into action, intercepting a missile fired by Hezbollah — an attack aimed not at military installations, but at civilians. This was no accident. It was a deliberate attempt to inflict death and destruction upon Israel’s most densely populated city. And yet, the world remains largely silent, offering only the faintest of condemnations. Israel, as always, is expected to endure.
