English fans, you are writing stuff without any background check.
Israel's Army is not on a war with Lebanon's army, but fighting "hizbulla"- a terror group.
Gaza Strip and Tel aviv on the map look close but in the 'real world' it's like England and LA.
The northern border of Israel is very far from Tel Aviv, something like 4-5 hours of driving.
Bombs threats are non exictent those days.
Gilad Shalit and the other Israeli soldiers who got kidnapped (the reason Israel started their attackes on Hizballa) were kidnapped In the border with Lebanon, Gilad was kidnapped in the Gazza strip.
The Central of Israel are living a normal life like yourself.
Israel Succeded to push the missile launchers to the north of Lebanon, so the chance of Tel aviv getting a missile became even lower than it was.
Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are the safest cities in Israel. I can't understand why UEFA didn't want to put the Israeli teams games in Jerusalem. It will be more safe than Tel Aviv.
If you wouldn't come to support your team, don't be surprised when Maccabi Haifa will play good, fell good and advance to the next level..Because in Anfiled Haifa is going to play very defensively.
Alon.
