She says on Monday morning they had a barrage of rockets fired towards Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.


"There are numerous people that are injured. Medics are there. I am in my bomb shelter."


Marks says everyone is reeling in shock.


"I don't think there is a person in Israel that doesn't know somebody how has been kidnaped or murdered. This affects each and every single one of us. There are still rockets which are flying the news is more than we can bare."
