"This morning, Nov. 30, 2015, Civil Administration and military personnel arrived at al-Hadidiya in the northern Jordan Valley and confiscated ten tents donated to residents by the ICRC and the local council, after the Israeli authorities demolished their homes last week," the group said. "The families are without shelter at the moment." Four of the tents served as housing for the 19 Palestinian villagers, including six children, while a further six were reserved in case of future demolitions.

Medical update: really good news. As I reported earlier I'm scheduled for cataract surgery on the 17th of this month, a 30 minute outpatient procedure. But the scheduling was tentative because the cataract that the opthamologist could see in my left eye was not large enough, with any certainty, to explain all of the vision loss. Hence, she was concerned that retinal damage might be much of the issue and that cataract surgery would be of insufficient help.
I have just concluded a visit to the retina specialist to whom she referred me. He seems very competent. and he seemed very sure that my retina is barely compromised at all for someone my age and does not explain the vision loss, and therefore he is very optimistic that the cataract surgery will give me very functional, near excellent, vision for as many years as the rest of my body holds together.
This is a far more optimistic outlook than I felt I had about a month ago.
