in Yemen. And while we are able to intercept almost all of the missiles from the Houthis using our David’s Sling, Arrow, Iron Dome, and now Iron Beam defense systems, the shrapnel from the demolished missiles still rains down on parts of the country, small bits of metal falling at terminal velocity. Last night’s missile rained down debris in the area just south of my city. No casualties, B”H. Fortunately, Karen and I were able to finish our episode of Star Trek by watching it on my iPhone as we waited for the all clear.
