I just visited Gaza’s new frontline.

JL;DR SUMMARY Jonathan Sacerdoti provides an on-the-ground insight into the tension along Gaza's "yellow line," a current front in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
