This is the astonishing moment two teenage boys cheated death after shrapnel from a downed Hamas missile narrowly avoided them.
The boys, who have not been identified, got the shock of their lives after the metal casing from the rocket struck a tree as they were walking just a few inches away from it.
In the clip, which was filmed in Tel Aviv, the boys are then seen jumping backwards before looking skywards and walking away.
Officials said they were ‘lucky to be alive’ and it came amid reports other shrapnel debris had been found across the Israeli capital following a barrage of rockets on Tuesday afternoon.
The rocket was fired 60 miles away from Gaza and took just a few minutes to reach the city and alarms had been sounded but it’s unclear why the boys chose to go out.
More than 11,500 rockets – mostly Russian or Iranian made – have been launched from Gaza since the October 7 attacks and the vast majority are taken out by the Iron Dome protection system.
