Families are on SIDEWALKS and streets in Jabaila because of these bombardments. There is NO where safe in the Gaza Strip. This also isn't the first time they attacked Jabaila -hundreds of Palestinian people have been genocided during those strikes and after having been stuck under the rubble for so long.

(Ostensibly) not named for its blue throat, but for its habit of decorating its nest with the bones of animals (and sometimes even other dragons) during courtship. Nesting dragons and young will chew on these bones, both for calcium and to wear their beaks down.
Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.
