A great miracle occurred last Thursday, when Katyusha rockets
fell a few meters away from a group of talmud Torah
children from Jerusalem. The students had been on their
annual class trip near Shlomi, a small town in the Western
Galilee.
As they were hiking, they suddenly found themselves in the
thick of a Katyusha attack in which missiles landed all along
the country's northern border, causing serious damages.
The children were in the Nachal Betzet area, near Shlomi,
when the screeches of missiles were heard. As they were still
wondering what was happening, some missiles landed a few
meters away from them. By a miracle, no one was hurt.
The children were frightened, but regained their composure
very quickly, and began to recite Tehillim with their
teachers. Realizing that missiles had fallen in other places
in the north, they prayed for the safety and well-being of
the people in those areas.
The children returned to Jerusalem Thursday night, safe and
sound, filled gratitude to HaKodosh Boruch Hu for the
great miracle which had befallen them.
