Now we're taking the tale of liquid repres and it's it's very interesting and very lively. This lesson is special dedicated after today in case the group knows we've got heroes with us. We've got uh Yseph Moody and Binyommen. Ysef Moody lives up in Naria right on the Lebanon border and what they've been through today is not fun. uh rabbit pina loer she lives very close to Hifa where the power plant was hit today not very scary thing the big smoke inside and we've got other people from Israel even Tel Aviv has been named Brody's with us he's right outside of Tel Aviv and uh let's see who else is with us tonight in the firing line boat but people there find those in a foola that's also they've been getting from from Iran here by in the south of Israel. Hezbat wanted to prove that they could reach the south of Israel. They've been trying to do that yesterday and today several times and of course Iran. So everybody's action there's something else. There's something else. Our group that is going through bitterness. A lot of people in our group are going through bitterness. And it's amazing.
