CNN PRODUCER NOTE     iReporter theUSian, who lives in Tel Aviv, took this image as a kind of metaphor for the relief he feels after days of violence in Israel and Gaza. He says he is glad a truce has been struck and is optimistic it will hold - because he and his family and friends want to get back to normal life "as soon as possible". "My heart hopes the truce will hold and we'll find some way to have peace and it will last," he said. That said, he remains concerned that the cease-fire does not mean the end to violence. "Everyone has the feeling or fear underneath of when it could start again -- a week, two months, a year ..." he says. "We have these ceasefires then someone shoots rockets into Israel and it escalates again." Read CNN's latest report on the Israeli-Gaza conflict.
