Amir was at home that afternoon when Dana returned from classes. As she stepped inside, a mortar pierced the roof near the front of the house, sending shrapnel and chunks of wall flying. Amir was knocked over but remained conscious. Yossi, a cousin living next door, raced over with his 5-year-old daughter. Pnina, a trained psychological counselor, was driving back from Tel Aviv, where...
