It’s miraculous that after firing 450 ballistic missiles as large as train carriages at Israel’s densest cities in an attempt to kill civilians at random, the collapsing Iranian regime has only managed to kill 24 people. But what happened yesterday morning in Tel Aviv—to Shana Fuld, a dozen other friends, and hundreds more neighbors—is stunning, creepy even. The spot where the missile fell is the only large vacant lot within 500 meters. It once housed a legendary Art Deco cinema, but that building burned down on this very day, exactly 39 years ago. The site was later demolished and has remained a parking lot ever since. A series of disputes and changes in ownership left it the last major empty lot in the neighborhood. And it was precisely there—right in the center of that lot, as far from surrounding buildings as possible—that this inaccurate terror weapon landed. It blew the facades off the two nearest buildings, and the shockwave shattered windows up to half a mile away. But the missile itself dove into the parking lot, and not a single person was killed by the hypersonic terror weapon the Iranian regime crippled its economy to build.
