Israel today in video clips
Just a few glimpses into war-related moments -- missile lands in front of traffic, iron dome interceptions, shrapnel could have killed two boys, and more
Before the Jew-haters start coming down on me hard for feeling sorry for myself about “a few” unsuccessful missile launches when Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians (and now probably against the Lebanese if they are all caught up) and killing babies, let me remind them that:
HAMAS INITIATED THIS WAR, Hezbollah joined them. All under the tutelage of Iran, for the sole purpose of getting rid of Israel. We are making sure there will be no more Oct 7th’s and no more raining down of missiles into any part of Israel.
Here are a few videoclips, not in any order. Where there is no credit given, they are used under Section 47A of Israel’s Copyright Law.
Just driving along to work one morning
This next one was back in December and I had not saved it, but I just had to find it for you to show you why we are instructed to wait for ten minutes in our protected spaces after the alert sounds. The shrapnel falling from missiles intercepted in the sky can be deadly if you happen to be where a piece falls. Of course, the shrapnel does not do as much damage as the original missile, unless you are the one in the wrong place at the wrong moment.
When there is no siren precisely where you are and you happen to be out and about as if life is normal, you may see scenes like this in the sky. No need to run for shelter because there is no alert. If there was an alert, sticking around to take videos is not recommended (see the videoclip directly above this one). Video credit: Carmel Szkolnik.
And here is an amazing still that shows how we feel protected by iron dome.
Accompanying the video below, Ben Freement writes: “Where were the cries for Hezbollah to not escalate? This is [near] Haifa.”
Ben expresses the consternation many of us feel to hear international condemnations of Israel and demands that we not escalate with nary a word to Hamas or Hezbollah or, God forbid! to Iran.
Feeling amazed and grateful that Rambam Hospital and other medical centers prepared underground facilities into which to move operations in anticipation of war. I was there for a guided tour and watched medical staff in dry runs to make sure everything runs smoothly. See my article here for more images and descriptions.
And, of course, there is the alert app that buzzes every time an alarm sounds anywhere in Israel. I want to know which of my friends are running for cover….we are not alone….we look out for each other.
8. And what “over there” looks like from “over here.” I get no great joy seeing the destruction. But relief? I get relief.
We are incredible: the intelligence it takes to know in which homes weapons are being stored, and in which buildings terrorists are holding meetings, the 15-year planning in setting up the pager-explosion operation, and more. When we see secondary explosions like in the video below, we know that people who look like civilians may not BE civilians.
And I am glad to see the exodus of Lebanese from south Lebanon, which will give the IDF freer rein to do what they have to do to make Israel safe again.
But go ahead, Jew haters, and accuse us of genocide.
I am glad we warn the population to flee the area where the IDF is and will operate.
If we did not have the iron dome, arrow and David’s sling defence systems, Jew haters would be handing out sweets and cheering the genocide of the Jews.
Israel is not supported on the Substack payment platform; therefore, I set up a way to make one-time donations or ongoing subscriptions in your own currency using Paypal (Buy me a Coffee, below) or the Ko-fi payment platform here. Israelis can send me a private message for another option.
Articles will always be free for all subscribers but a paid subscription or donation is a way to help me sustain myself while doing all the work involved in putting these articles together and would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you to all those who have supported my work by subscribing and/or by donating coffees.
