Tank shell from Egypt damages synagogue during services at Israeli community
2019-09-29
[IsraelTimes] A tank shell fired from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula went kaboom! in the Israeli community of Bnei Netzarim Saturday morning, in what appeared to be a case of internal fighting between Egyptian forces and snuffies spilling over the border.

There were no casualties, though light damage was caused to the community’s synagogue. A parked car’s back windscreen was smashed.

The Ynet news site reported that there were several worshipers inside the synagogue for Shabbat services when the shell hit. Initial reports had indicated that the projectile was a mortar shell.
tank shell, mortar shell....whatever?

#2  Always be sure of your target and what is beyond.

#1  Probably a stray round from a ballistic mortar defense brigade. Or maybe a battleship. So many things go "vroom" and "bang" these days, in the unlikeliest sizes and shapes and colors!
