Israel has been accused by Iran of killing one of its prominent generals within the iranian embassy on Syrian soil. Whether true or false, revenge was expected on the day/days following Friday, the end of the Ramadan Fast (major muslim religious event).
On Saturday, the 14th of April, at 23 o'clock in the evening , we've been told: "that's it, Iran's flying 'toys' ( hundreds of drones, ballistic rockets, cruise missiles ) are on their way to us, carrying many tons of explosives" .
As an ordinary person, I was quite impressed by the mere detection of these objects from such a distance (over 1000 km)! However, Fear and Panic were my dominant feelings. I live alone, on the third floor , it's middle of the night. I won't even try to reach the shelter behind the building. I 'll say my prayer to God, and...que sera, sera.
After a while, we've been told it's gonna take several hours to nine hours for the objects to get to Israel (except of the ballistic rockets which reach their target in minutes) - as the route is long and their move is slow.
I managed somehow to fall asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I faced the unbelievable. Our defense system Hetz3 (Arrow3) has had 99% success in downing the deadly objects far outside the country. The little videos displaying the knocking down were fascinating (Yes, sometimes the dreadful can fascinate)!
The major target of the attack appeared to be a southern air force basis, "Nevatim", home to the prestigious F-35 jet fighter. As I understood later, only superficial harm was done to the military basis. A seriously wounded 9-year old girl from a near by bedouin village, was the main and only known casualty of the iranians' massive attack . May she survive and get well!
The nice and rather secretive part was a coalition of countries under the leadership of the USA - that helped us too: USA, UK, France, Jordan, South Arabia. Everyone of them was part of the successful anti-iranian 'show'.
Anyway, war is terrible, it causes loss of life; it also costs enormous amounts of money - money which could definitely better humans' living conditions, and not bring about destruction and death. Peace is greatly needed in the world, and particularly in this cursed region of the Middle East.
