This could have ended in disaster

Residents continue to report similar occurrences, questioning the effectiveness of public safety measures during aerial threats.

Residents of Tzur Hadassah were startled this morning when debris from an intercepted Yemeni missile landed in a local playground, with no prior warning siren to alert the community.

The incident occurred early today (Sunday) at Keshet Park, a popular children's play area. While the interception was accompanied by loud explosions, the local warning system remained silent - adding to a growing pattern of similar incidents during the current conflict.

Police bomb disposal units quickly responded to the scene, confirming there was no remaining danger to the public. However, security forces have yet to provide clear explanations for the recurring failure of warning sirens in the area.

The incident joins several recent cases in the Beit Shemesh region where missile interceptions occurred without triggering alert systems, making residents increasingly worried about the reliability of current warning protocols.
