(Ynet News) Yoram Yuval - After a rocket from Gaza hit a residence in Beersheba last week, IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Ronen Manelis said that the capability of Israel's anti-missile defense systems "is not hermetic. What saved the day were the correct actions of a citizen." There is no such thing as absolute security in Israel; nor will there ever be. We are always living under some level of danger. Mental health is the ability to live with this knowledge, to live in the shadow of danger, and still function normally and feel at ease. What we need is not blind faith that we are completely protected, but rather the readiness to act when attacked. There is no substitute for a well-trained and prepared home front. Our air defense systems are indeed a pride-worthy technological achievement, but they cannot replace vigilance and resourcefulness, readiness for quick response, and use of safe rooms. The writer is a professor and head of the Brain Institute for Emotional Research at the School of Social Work, University of Haifa.2018-10-25 00:00:00Full Article
