Amid the searing tragedy that occurred on Sunday evening when a Hezbollah drone exploded in the dining room of a Golani Brigade training base, killing four soldiers and wounding dozens, a huge neis occurred.
One of the soldiers who was wounded in the incident was evacuated to Laniado Hospital in Netanya.
Upon arriving there, a small but hard piece of shrapnel was found caught in his yarmulke, likely saving his life.
A spokesperson from Lanidado Hospital released a video of the incident:
The soldiers who were evacuated to Laniado mostly suffered shrapnel wounds on their heads, faces, backs, and limbs. Others were suffering from shock.

You had to have a thick mizrachi knitted one, no way a velvet charedi cappel would do the trick.
Must have been a kippat barzel.
If the shrapnel didn’t pierce the yarmulke it clearly wasn’t going fast enough to pierce his skull. So how did the yarmulke save his life?
