JERUSALEM, Israel – After Iran’s missile barrage last week against Israel, many people here who endured the explosions and sirens during the night were both relieved and stunned to learn that 99% of the more than 300 drones and missiles fired at them were shot down, and most did not even make it to Israeli airspace.
Many people are touting the country’s military prowess and the nation’s advances in defensive technology;
others are grateful for the alliance with the U.S., U.K., even Jordan + Saudi Arabia.
Yet, the prevailing sense
– even in a country that is largely secular –
is that Israel was blessed with a Divine intervention.
my NOTES:
… Israel strikes military targets in Iran, Syria & Baghdad.
… A display in Nir Oz highlights plight of hostages.
… A look at the Iran sanctions waiver, recently renewed by the Biden administration.
… Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein on Israel’s miracle of April 13 and 14.
