Lapid posts video from son’s missile-damaged home

After his son’s home was damaged in recent missile attack, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid posts a video showing his year-old granddaughter’s glass-strewn bedroom and appeals to the public to obey Home Front Command directives regarding taking shelter.
“Glass fell on the spot where her head usually is,” he says from the room, holding up a large shard. “I am telling everyone, be careful and listen to the instructions of the Home Front Command. Be in your protected spaces. Don’t take any risks.”
