| A pre-Pesach miracle as Israel defies Iran missiles |
|
EVEN those doubters who scoff at the mere suggestion that modern-day miracles can actually occur must have been stunned at Israel’s response to Iran’s attempted bombardment of the country last weekend.
More than 300 projectiles, including lethal ballistic missiles, were fired at the Jewish state. But, together with the valued assistance of the UK and America, managed to somehow thwart the onslaught with 99 per cent of them intercepted before they could cause significant damage. The world was shocked at Israel’s powerful response as many had expected and, indeed, in some cases prayed for the success of the mission. They had expected Tel Aviv and may other centres of population to go up in flames, allowing the rogue Muslim state to declare a famous victory over the “Zionist entity”. This was Israel’s severest test yet, defending the country from an unprecedented direct attack from Iranian soil, but not a single life was lost and damage was restricted to a minimum. Inevitably, the international community were quick to demand Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu respond in a measured way, fearing of course that further escalation could cause a regional conflict leading to other major players entering the fray. The War Cabinet in Jerusalem has since declared that it would take appropriate action at a time of its choosing. In the meantime, as Pesach rapidly approaches, those in particular with unshakeable belief will compare the events of the last few days with the miracles in Egypt as we again prepare to celebrate our freedom from bondage.
