Siren Goes Off In Real Times On Dermer’s iPhone During TV Interview

Today 12:54 PM by Jacob Kornbluh

Intentionally or not, during an interview with Bob Schieffer on CBS’ Face the nation, an alarm went off on Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer’s phone notifying him that a rocket was being fired at Gedera, his mother’s home city.

UN Ambassador Ron Prosor on Thursday also played the piercing 15-second siren that warns Israelis to run to bomb shelters to escape rocket attacks, during a speech at the UN’s Security Council to highlight the threat his country faces.

Following PM Netanyahu on the program, Dermer stressed that while Hamas was deliberately targeting civilians during its fighting, Israel would continue to make all efforts to avoid killing or hurting civilians on its end.dermer siren

“When our pilots are targeting a particular site, they try to make sure that it’s clear of civilians,” Dermer said. “There are many, many military operations that are called off, because we see that there are civilians that are going to come into harm’s way. That’s the difference between us and Hamas. Hamas is deliberately targeting our civilians. They want to kill as many civilians in Israel as possible.”
