Blitz

September 7th, 1940 was the day that German Luftwaffe elements shifted their bombing from radar stations and airfields to civilian targets in London. The goal was to demoralize the populace and force a surrender. The appeasement policies of Neville Chamberlain had not worked in keeping Hitler's Germany in check. In fact, those policies has emboldened the leader of the Nazi party.

Today, the state of Israel has issued warnings to it's civilians in Tel Aviv and issued instructions on what to do when an alert sounds warning of incoming rocket attacks:

The IDF on Sunday told Israelis from Tel Aviv northward to "be alert."

The command said that in the event of a rocket strike, a siren will sound, alerting the public to seek shelter inside in a protected room or an area away from doors, windows and exterior walls.

Those caught outside at the time of the siren should enter a stairwell or get close to wall or shelter and lie down. The Home Front Command also told the public to await further instruction.

A barrage of Katyusha rockets fired by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon late Sunday landed in the lower Galilee's Jezreel Valley for the first time.

It might be to both Hezbollah's and it's puppetmaster Iran to remember how the the first Blitz worked out for Germany. In fact, the Iranian president should consult with the person who instigated the Blitz.

Oh wait, he's DEAD isn't he?
