Home Front Command chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo says civilians who entered a shelter at the site of a direct ballistic missile impact on a building in Holon were unharmed.

“This event is an extraordinary example of civilian behavior. The civilians who were in the building heard the warning, the advance directive, went down to a shared private shelter located at the bottom of the building, and this saved their lives,” Milo says.
