During the last three week a special exhibition has been going on in Tel Aviv. It is an outdoor exhibition on Chen Boulevard. If you stroll along this street, just turn your head up and you'll see drawings on boards tied to the streets from both sides. These drawings were made by junior high school students from the city of Kiryat shmona which is located in the North of Israel on the Lebanese border. During the 2006 Lebanese War which took place during 33 days, between mid July and mid August 2006, a total of 1012 Katyusha rockets hit Kiryat Shmona. Approximately half of its residents left the area during that time and those who remained stayed in bomb shelters. I went to see these youngsters' drawings and I was trying to feel and understand what it means to be 14 years old boy or a girl living in such a horrifying reality. I bring to you here several photos of their drawings, which I think speak for themselves.
