Taking Precautions Saves Lives
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - The IDF on Monday said its shoot-down success rate against Iran's missiles was 80-90%, with only 5-10% hitting residential areas. It said the Israel Air Force's success in destroying dozens of launchers and many missiles has reduced the number of Iranian missiles launched from hundreds at a time to dozens. The IDF said it is constantly adjusting strategies and learning how the Iranians conduct their missile fire. In one area of Tel Aviv, there was an almost direct hit between two safe rooms, yet all of the civilians in the safe rooms survived. There was only one case of a direct hit on a safe room, in Tel Aviv, which led to two civilian deaths. Even in that case, the civilians in their safe rooms directly one floor above and below the hit all survived.
