We're really not sure what is going on other than that we have been put under curfew for at least a few days.
Here's hoping it doesn't turn out like last time. In 2002 Nablus was under curfew for 100 days. People were allowed to leave their homes for 4 hours one day per week to buy food.
There was no food available because supplies were not allowed into Nablus.
Water was turned off for a few weeks.
We have food to last over a week and we've filled up empty water bottles just in case. If this seems like its going to be long term we'll just up and leave and go to Jerusalem until it blows over. We actually haven't heard any gunshots or anything. It seems relatively calm.
Because we have no stories I'll just put up some more pictures.
Two more views of Nablus taken from a speeding van. The first, we believe, was bombed at some point by Israel.
Young man at Wailing Wall. Before they would go up to the wall they would get into groups, surround a Torah(?) dance, chant, and pray. This is them in the praying phase.

You would be allowed to go to Jerusalem even if you are under a curfew? Hopefully, this present situation will be very temporary and you'll be back teaching quickly. What do your students do when classes are cancelled?
Talk to you later.
Love Mum
