Bombs bursting in Air

4/14/2024

16 Comments

 
As older people tend to do, I was up at 1:45 AM last night when I saw the Arrow antimissile system shoot down over Gush Etzion, south of Jerusalem, about eight ballistic missiles launched from Iran. Over 200 threats, drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, all shot down by the combined forces of Israel, USA, Britain, France, and Jordan.  "The bombs bursting in air".   

The XYL, the dog, and I went to our safe room until we knew it was clear to leave.  We are ok, in good shape, and preparing for the next round.  Thanks for all of the inquires.  

There will be more later - its just that it is all too surreal to know where to begin.   

73,  Eric 4Z1UG

We worried about you and your family last night when we realized and saw on the news about the bombing. Too scary. We are glad you emailed the group. You are in our prayers. Stay safe.

I am glad that you are safe. I am also constantly being surprised at how the major media in the United States seems to always get the "flavor" of the story incorrect. Your blog is a major source for my real news of what is happening in the Middle East. Thanks Eric.

Hang in there, Eric, it's good to be able to read your on-scene reports that sometimes don't like up with what we see in the media here in the states. 73 de Kerry, WD5ABC in Texas

Eric, you were wise to send this out. You're the first person many think about, when there's a massive attack on Israel.

Praise God you're all ok. I for one am ready for our armed forces and the IDF to annhilate the sons of Ishmael and stop this business - it will be bad enough at Armageddon, but let's not hasten that day! Blessings to you and your family & friends and fellow countrymen.

I was up all night too... monitoring via 'Behold Israel' on Telegram ... Amir Tsarfati , like you, has good info sources that he makes available. And, like you, travels extensively so he has a good view of real people.
Prayed for You, Your family, and also for the Peace of Jerusalem! (psalms 122:6)

Stay safe Eric! We have terrorist sympathizers here in the US blocking airports, bridges, and businesses. 🙏

Glad to hear your OK. I have family in several places in Israel and cringe every time I see something like this on the news.
