Well described, Sheri. A few weeks ago my four year old grandson who lives near Carmiel was here (in Jerusalem) for Shabbat. He knows a thing or two about booms and running to shelters. When my upstairs neighbour's' children began loudly stomping about ( very annoying, as the three of them are all over ten years old), the little child suddenly looked up, eyes locked frozen with concern. The noise reminded him of an incoming boom! Yes, indeed, it is hard to tell the difference between certain sounds and noises.
Thanks for sharing the daily realities of Israeli life. I share to social media here to provide a bit of understanding that never makes MSM. Appreciate all that you're doing.

That is a sad story, for sure.
Excellent delineation , from the flight/fright/freeze reflexes to the more thought-out responses. Hashem yishmor.

Wow, that guy had a narrow escape, didn't he? Easy to say, I know, but panic can be very dangerous to oneself and others. Stay safe, Sheri.
