Close Calls and Chaos: Surviving Hamas Rockets in Israel

Two Israeli teenagers narrowly escaped death when shrapnel from a downed Hamas rocket narrowly missed them as they walked in Tel Aviv. The rocket, fired from Gaza, struck a tree just inches away from the boys. The incident occurred amidst a barrage of rockets on Tuesday afternoon, with reports of shrapnel debris found across the Israeli capital. The Iron Dome protection system, which intercepts and destroys short-range rockets, has been largely successful in defending against the attacks.
