Of this ancient Phoenician city which once chose to lock its gates and burn itself to the ground rather than be invaded, of the crusader's sea fortress sacked and recaptured many a time, of the Souks and the old town, my mind is absorbed elsewhere. Of the enemy's threat to turn back the hands of time 20 years; my thoughts are fixated on a single spot, a single house that had been bombed many a time, and rebuilt many a time.
