I was planning on going out tonight, but it seems I have to amend my plans. There’s shooting in several parts of the neighborhood around me. Most of it is just gun fire, M-16 and the likes, but they are shooting also with other stuff as well, heavier material. No idea what that is, maybe I should update my knowledge about guns and ammo and the likes. Might come in handy these days.
No dinner on the balcony either. What goes up, must - after all – come down as well.
A friend is calling me from two blocks away. She was thinking of walking over to my place, but she just called to say that – since there are armed men under her building – she is changing her plans as well. She’ll stay home instead.
My father in-law calls and aks whether we have a shelter in the building. Yes we do, but I am not giong to sit there. My son calls, he’s at the neighbors, and says they’re all huddling in the corridor. I'm not going to do that either. Instead, I think I will paint a room.
It seems everyone will be having to change their plans these coming days. Sounds like war right now.

Sietske, it is a sad, very sad situation. keep safe!
Hi Sietske,
Please take care. It's not the militias that are dangerous but especially the young guys that pretend to be the "guardians" of your neighborhood.
I don't know if you were in Lebanon during the civil war (well the last one harhar!) and I know you're probably trying to avoid panicking, but but as long as you take this seriously. eg: people stocking up on goods at the supermarket.
People are freaking out for a reason. We've seen this exact same behaviour before and we know what it leads to.
Be safe.
