When kindergarten morahs heard faint sirens in the distance, but no local ones, they took the extra precaution and shuffled all the children to the bomb shelter. Shortly after, an explosive drone landed in the yard, blasting the windows and causing material damage only.

Despite heavy barrages of rockets, drones, and missiles fired by Hezbollah, countless incredible miracles have been seen.
On Tuesday morning, an explosive drone fired by Hezbollah entered the town of Nesher near Haifa without triggering sirens. Nevertheless, hearing faint sirens in the distance, staff at a local kindergarten moved the children to a bomb shelter for safety. A short while later, the drone scored a direct hit in the yard of the kindergarten, causing damage and shattering windows.
The Israel Fire and Rescue Authority stated: “After searches, the drone was located in the yard of a kindergarten. There are no casualties at the scene and no fires. The fact that the kindergarten staff rushed and moved all the children to a protected space resulted in no injuries.”
The drone was seen flying over the area for a full 14 minutes as the IDF repeatedly and unsuccessfully attempted to down it. The IDF said it is investigating why the siren wasn’t activated in Nesher.
Sarah Yasour, the head teacher at the kindergarten, later told Israeli media that they experienced a “miracle of miracles,” adding that when the staff heard distant sirens and saw that there was a drone warning, they decided to act with caution and rushed the children into the bomb shelter.
“We were at the morning circle time with the children, all of us together, and when we heard the faint siren and I saw an alert on my phone that a drone had crossed into Israel, I said we’re not taking chances and within a few seconds, we all entered the bomb shelter. This decision simply saved us.”
The drone hit the kindergarten only a moment after they entered the shelter.
“We suddenly heard a loud noise and realized it must be close by. We didn’t understand the magnitude of the neis until we left the shelter. It hit right where we were sitting.”
