  1. Hashem should continue protecting us and performing his nissim.

    I live in Yerushalayim and b”H heard the siren ring today and went to the miklat. However, my husband was in shul with many others, and nobody heard it there. BH everything was safe, but I wind it very problematic that people can’t hear the siren – who do we tell to make it louder?

    (I was also told that Yeshivas Mir did not hear the siren on Thursday afternoon)

    Can anything be done???

  2. Walla News quotes a senior military official explaining it is most difficult eliminating the most senior Hamas leadership for they are deep underground in bunkers. That is what a ground operation is needed for. They can either be smoked out or suffocated inside as the entrances are sealed with concrete; the choice will be theirs.
