in what was obviously a complex operation, the IDF intercepted a shipment of long range missiles from Iran to Gaza.. its a modern-day Purim miracle!
And to quote my friend, educator Rabbi Avi Lipman:
If we were not so busy fighting each other, I think we could see and believe that we just witnessed a true Purim style miracle in our own day! Think about it: Last week, the gedolim sensed that there was a tremendous need to gather the Jews to pray to Hash-m for mercy. The Jews gather and pour their hearts out to their creator in heaven. The zchus of this tefillah gathers strength and the IDF, carrying the hearts and prayers of their brothers crying to G-d in the streets, are successful in intercepting missiles which would have put the entire country of Israel in danger! Baruch she-assa nissim! We should be dancing in the street and writing a new megillah about this! Please take a moment and thank Hash-m for this modern day miracle!
