On the evening of October 1st, people in Israel experienced something unexpected and frightening. Sirens started blaring, and bright lights like “fireballs” streaked across the night sky 🌠. Many families had to rush to shelters, even though they were preparing to celebrate the Jewish New Year, called Rosh Hashanah, which began on October 2nd.
So, what happened? Iran, a country in the Middle East, launched missiles toward Israel. A missile is a powerful weapon that can travel long distances through the air. Iranian news reported that more than 200 missiles were fired at important places in Israel.
Why did this happen? There have been disagreements and tensions between Israel and Iran, as well as other places like Lebanon and Palestine. Sometimes, when countries don’t get along, it can lead to serious situations like this one.
In Tel Aviv, a big city in Israel, a reporter named Arthur Vernes was at a café after work ☕. When he heard the alarms, he went outside and saw what was happening along with other locals. It was a scary moment for many people.
Arthur believes that if everyone involved makes good choices today, there can be peace tomorrow ✨. Peace means that people and countries solve their problems without fighting.
Events like these remind us how important it is to work towards peace. Let’s hope that all the leaders can find a way to get along so that everyone can feel safe and happy.
