Several Miracles as reported by my Friend Srif and her son-in-law who came back from the front in Gaza

 bs"d

From my Friend Srif.

B"H. Yishai himself also considers it a nes (a miracle) that he threw a grenade and discovered in time that there was a gas balloon there so they got out before it all blew.

One of his soldiers got wounded - B"H, just in the arm and not badly - from the ricochet of his own weapon that he needed to shoot to get past a gate, so even without actual battle, the whole thing can, of course, be dangerous.

I don't know if you heard that a rocket fell in front of the Mo'etza of Gush Katif, about a meter from Haviva's office. Not only did it not explode, but because it was Tisha b'Av, there was no one there, where normally the place would be teeming as it was a little after 8 in the morning. So for this once, Tisha b'Av brought blessing.

Also, the tractor terrorist attack in which one person was killed could have, chas vechallila, (G-d Forbid) been a lot worse. It seems the terrorist was heading for the Mir bus, but the Beitar Illit bus, which was almost empty as it was just starting its route, was in the way, so he made do with that.
