That was not fun heading down middle of night with the whole building in pj’s!
It was in Modiin proper, not Modiin Illit, which we generally call Kiryat Sefer.
And the trash face from the UN can begin his trashing speech of Israel for their bombing of Yemen. But they better destroy, destroy and destroy their capabilities. Shoin, ain mohl faar alleh mohl.
If there was just one missile, why do we here numerous explosions?
If it was intercepted over Modiin, how do we hear it in Yerushayim?
Does anyone know how this works?
The only thing I can figure out is that Hashem is waking us up in preparation for ביאת גואל צדק!
So lets rejoice in the knowledge that everything is going to be עוד יותר טוב!
looks like it fell and exploded in jerusalem.
