Miracles and Wonders
[Jerusalem Post] Abe Selig - Walking through the rubble on the floor of Gabi Ben-Hamu's Beersheba home on Sunday, everyone was talking about miracles. The outside wall was pockmarked with holes from a Grad rocket strike as hundreds of ball bearings and pieces of metal sprayed through the air. Ben-Hamu recalled the moments just after hearing the siren, when he and his wife had rushed their three small daughters into the apartment's safe room, and within seconds, heard an earth-shattering boom. But by getting into the safe room and closing the door, a disaster had been prevented. Nearby, a Habad elementary school had been peppered with shrapnel from the same attack. A woman in the school's office said, "The rocket landed in the exact spot where the buses unload the students for school. If there had been class today, the rocket would have hit at the same time the buses would have been there." Since the beginning of the Gaza operation and amid the hundreds of rockets that have rained down on the country's southern cities and towns, an acknowledgment of miracles and wonders has been uttered countless times. A rocket hits a home dead-on, and no one is wounded. A rockets slams into a school, after classes had been cancelled the night before.
