Israeli drum birshab after a deadly strike

Shortly before the ceasefire between Iran and Israel had to come into force, the residents of the southern Israeli city of Birsheb woke up early on Tuesday by sounding missile alarms on their phones.

“Extreme warning,” the report said, warning of an inevitable strike. Then the sirens sounded on the streets.

Like others, the measures of Mana and her family headed for their safe room – a safe part of their apartment, built from an ironic concrete with a heavy metal door and designed to protect against missile attacks.

When the Iranian missile struck, they felt the building moving and covered their heads.

“It was so strong that we thought it was the end,” she said.

When they appeared, the windows on the front of their apartment collapsed on the floor from the rocket explosion. But they were safe.

The measures stayed in the apartment for several hours, frightened because she saw on the street.

Just across the road, a block that was not different from it was directly struck and partially cut down.

Four people were killed there. The Southern Home Front team told the BBC that they were also in safe rooms when their building made a direct blow.

After the strike, Israeli doctors and the military rushed to the jacket to save the survivors and restore the remains. Volunteers and locals swept from broken glass from the streets.

“I hope this is the end,” said one BBC person, looking at the damage.

Israel and Iran confirmed after the Bieershab strike that they agreed to cease the fire, but then accused each other of violating it.

As the residents of Birsheba were dealing with the shock and harm of their community, they also asked if there would be a gentle truce.

On Tuesday after lunch, Oren Cohen, 45, stood on Tuesday afternoon in his garden, viewed by the block that was struck. He said he couldn’t make himself look at it.

“I was worried about my children, so only now I am starting to realize what happened here,” he said.

Oren was with his wife and three children – at the age of eight, 12 and 15 – when the strike hit, and said that the enhanced window flew from the blast.

When he said, a group of volunteers in fluorescent vests arrived to help cleaning.

Even after being injured directly, Oren said he supported Israel’s strikes in Iran, which celebrated the beginning of a 12-day conflict.

“I think we had no other choice,” he said. “We do what we need to do to protect ourselves.”

He said he did not know if he could “count on” the ceasefire, but trusts the Israeli government to know when it reached its goals.

Since the measures left its home on Tuesday for the first time to evaluate the damage in its community, she also said that he believed that there was nothing left in Israel, how to strike Iran.

“It would have happened earlier or late. We were prepared for that,” she said.
