‘Miracle’ – Hezbollah drone hits kindergarten, no children hurt

“The drone hit exactly where we had been,” says kindergarten teacher.

A miracle occurred in Haifa. The Hezbollah drone wanted to harm people, even children. Hezbollah’s aim is to kill every Jew but sometimes, a miracle occur.

An explosive drone launched by the Hezbollah terror group struck a Haifa-area kindergarten on Tuesday morning, causing damage to the property but no injuries to children or staff.

Footage from the scene circulating on social media showed damage to the facility’s outdoor play area, the building itself, and that the kindergarten’s windows had been shattered by the blast.

“We had a miracle of miracles,” Sarah Yasour, a teacher at the preschool, told Hebrew-language news outlets.

Yasour said that she had been in the outdoor play area with the children shortly before the explosive drone impacted.

She noted that no alarms had sounded in Nesher, a community on the outskirts of Haifa where the kindergarten is located.

But, Yasour noted, she and other staffers heard sirens coming from nearby areas and decided to move the children into the facility’s bomb shelter as a precaution.

“We heard a very distant siren… and said ‘alright let’s go inside,’” Yasour recounted.

Just a few seconds after all the children were in the shelter, “we suddenly heard a huge noise and understood it must be close,” she said.

“Only when we got out did we realize the scale of the miracle. [The drone] hit exactly where we had been.”

While Israel’s Iron Dome intercepts the vast majority of projectiles fired from Lebanon, explosive drones have proved to be a challenge for air defense system.

Because drones fly at a low altitude – literally under the radar – they aren’t always detected by Israel’s air defenses.

Tlaib cries ‘Islamophobia’ over cartoon showing her with exploded pager

This is how charges of ‘racism’ and ‘Islamophobia’ are weaponized against those who oppose jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women.

The left leaning critics of Rashida Tlaib were are enraged, as she took issue with Jew hating groups.

Now, rage is their default mode, so this was no surprise, but the whole incident provided an illuminating glimpse into how leftists try to arouse and exploit rage for their own purposes, and re  ally don’t have much of anything they can use to motivate  their cadres if they aren’t angry about something.

It all started when Abraham Aiyash, a Democra who is currently the majority leader of the Michigan House of Representatives, posted on X a political cartoon lampooning Tlaib.

The cartoon, which was the work of Henry Payne of the Detroit News, first appeared not in the News, but in National Review. It depicts Tlaib sitting at her desk looking over at the smoking ruin of her pager and thinking: “Odd. My pager just exploded.”

There is nothing “racist” or “Islamophobic” about this cartoon. It doesn’t mention Tlaib’s race or her religion. It merely makes fun of her for her unapologetic and open support of the jihad against Israel, which allies her with jihad terror groups including Hezbollah.

For Tlaib and others like her, however, charging “racism” and “Islamophobia” is the all-purpose response to any criticism, no matter how mild. And why not? It works.

Hezbollah kills Druze kids in strike

The  press is making a hit on Israel killing  children in Gaza, but  what is left unheard is the killings by Hezbollah in north Israel.

”Israel’s Druze community was reeling in shock after a Hezbollah rocket killed 11 youth and injured another 29 on a soccer field in the Druze town of Majdal Shams on Saturday.

Most of the casualties were between the ages of 10-20. As the casualties mounted, so did Druze anger.

“This is a terrible disaster that must not be ignored,” Israeli Druze politician Fateen Mulla told The Press Service of Israel.”

Here is what Honest Reporting told of the attack: ”the international media’s coverage of Hezbollah’s deadly rocket atttack on July 27 represents another low in reporting on Israel since the war began.

On Saturday afternoon, Hezbollah announced it had launched 100 rockets at an Israeli army base in the Golan Heights, near the Druze town of Majdal Shams.

But it landed in a soccer pitch, killing  at least  12 Druze children.

”The Druze trace their ancestry back to the Biblical figure Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses.

Israeli Druze serve in senior positions in public and military life, and the bond between Jewish and Druze soldiers is referred to as the “covenant of blood.”

The Druze speak Arabic but are not Muslim and are very secretive about their religious beliefs.

The Alma Institute told The Press Service of Israel that Hezbollah rocket barrages on northern Israel are expanding in range, reaching deeper into Israel to unevacuated communities.

Matan Davidian of “Fighting for the North,” which advocates for the nearly 80,000 Israelis forced to evacuate their homes in northern Israel told TPS-IL, “We heard the Prime Minister in Congress say that there is also ‘another way,’ and we say that the blood of our children is not worthless! We call for immediate military action and not to settle for a feeble response.”

Hezbollah leaders have said they will continue the attacks to prevent Israelis from returning to their homes. The attacks have killed 23 civilians and 18 soldiers.

Israeli officials have been calling for Hezbollah to be disarmed and removed from southern Lebanon in accord. Attack ‘crossed every possible red and black line.

 Israeli Druze fury at Hezbollah 28 July UN Security Council resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War.”

What could the climate change supporters say of this? They have been  silent of the happenings, just focusing on what is happening in Gaza, after the rescue of the four hostages in which hundreds of  people were slaid in the successful attempt,

What would the Israelis say about the fires brought about by Hezbollah?

“Nearly 15,000 acres of land in the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights have been burnt in wildfires sparked by Hezbollah rocket barrages.

The Israeli government on Sunday approved a proposal to purchase around 200 fire trucks for northern communities.

The 50-million-shekel ($13.4 million) plan would see the purchase of 40 vans and 150 all-terrain vehicles to be deployed with volunteer firefighting teams.

Nearly 15,000 acres of land in the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights have been burnt in wildfires sparked by Hezbollah rocket barrages in 2024, according to the Israel Nature and Parks Authority.

The authority noted that 75% of the damage took place during the first two weeks of June.

Around 60,000 Israelis living in northern communities were forced to evacuate in October when the Hezbollah terror organization began daily rocket and drone attacks. Leaders of the Iran-backed terror group have said they will continue the attacks to prevent Israelis from returning to their homes. Since October 7, the Hezbollah attacks have killed 10 civilians and 14 soldiers.

Israeli officials have been calling for Hezbollah to be disarmed and removed from Southern Lebanon in accordance with UN Security Council resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War.”
