This is what the Avot U'Banim synagogue in Haifa looked like before yesterday.
Here is a screenshot from a video published by Hezbollah showing the damage to a "military base in Haifa" from a barrage of rockets yesterday:
Hezbollah named five supposed targets of their rockets, all of them "military bases," including a gas station that they say is owned by the IDF.
In the video, the people clearly talk about the synagogue burning. Hezbollah knows that a synagogue was hit, but they do not admit it, and neither has Lebanese media.
The missiles hit the synagogue and its adjacent beit midrash only an hour after Saturday night prayers.
“This is divine providence,” Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav told Israel Hayom.
“There were no people in the synagogue, but in the surrounding buildings there were people who experienced a significant blast,” he said. “But as I said, most of the damage is not physical. There’s damage in many apartments, mainly windows. Some vehicles were also burned.”
Haifa residents are happy there were no injuries.
