The Hatchet of George Washington U. talked to students returning from Israel and Lebanon about their experiences bracing for bombs during summer study programs:
“What I experienced was an unexplainable life-changing event,” Weismann, a sophomore studying at University of Haifa in northern Israel, wrote in an e-mail earlier this week. “To articulate my emotions and how bad it all actually was would be impossible.
“I remember the first night the missiles began. I remember looking out over Haifa, and watching it get destroyed. The bombs fell extremely close to the campus. It was like watching a movie. I almost didn’t believe it had happened.”
