My tickets were booked but had to postpone it for next week as my night shift suddenly extended as there were few extra scenes added. As much as I felt sad the, I am absolutely convinced now that there was a Higher power in play that saved me from what could have potentially killed me.

What is happening in Israel?
Meanwhile, on the geopolitical front, the Middle East remains embroiled in a volatile and escalating conflict. Israeli bombardments continue in various areas around the Gaza Strip, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeting terrorist elements in Gaza. Additionally, tensions have flared up at the Israel-Lebanon border, marked by exchanges of artillery and rocket fire between the two countries. Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group supported by Iran, claimed responsibility for a rocket and artillery attack on the Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms, stating it was in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Senior Hezbollah official Hashem Safieddine even declared support for Palestinian militants, further complicating the regional situation.
In a tragic turn of events, a surprise attack by Hamas fighters on Israel resulted in the loss of hundreds of Israeli lives on Saturday. In response, Israel, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has vowed to dismantle Hamas strongholds in Gaza, employing intensive airstrikes in the ongoing conflict. On Saturday morning, Hamas launched a significant barrage of rockets into southern Israel, prompting air raid sirens across the nation. Israel’s Iron Dome system, renowned for its effectiveness, was once again put to the test as it intercepted incoming projectiles, but the situation remains highly fluid and volatile, as reported in NDTV.
As the conflict in the region continues to escalate, international efforts are underway to restore peace and stability, but the situation remains deeply complex and fraught with challenges.
