Sarah Yasour, a teacher at the kindergarten that was hit by a drone in Nesher earlier, tells media at the scene: “We had a miracle of miracles.”

“We heard a very distant siren… and said ‘alright let’s go in.’ We were just starting the morning meeting with the kids. Everyone was together. But the moment we heard the siren and I saw that a drone [alert] had come out, we said we’re not taking any chances now, and within a few seconds we were all in the shelter.”

She goes on: “We suddenly heard a huge noise and understood it must be close… Only when we got out did we realize the scale of the miracle. It hit exactly where we had been.”
