Revealed:The Rebbe of Gur told his followers in Arad that in the city of Arad there would be no rockets and no need to run to bomb shelters
This rebbe is a reckless clueless leader and his dumb chassidim follow him! Now they paid the price, and I am sure that they learned nothing!
This craziness is not limited to Ger! Even the crazed Litvishe Yeshivishe communities believe that the warnings to go into shelters during sirens are warning from the "Zionist Government" and therefore don't need to be adhered to!
Arad: 150 apartments will need to be evacuated, those who were in the shelter were saved.
Most of the shelters were recklessly converted into regular rooms, and the protective doors and windows were replaced!

Most of those wounded in Arad and Dimona were not in shelters
I saw messages circulating this morning on the Charedei WhatsApp groups claiming that the Gerer Rebbe told his followers to run to the miklat when they hear sirens—despite having previously said it wasn’t necessary.
I can’t confirm whether the reports that the Gerer Rebbe initially told them that they don't need to go to shelters, are accurate, but one thing is undeniable: many Gerer Chassidim did not go to shelters, and people were injured in last night’s attack. When asked why they didn’t take cover, some said simply that “they thought it wasn’t necessary.”
I’m trying to make sense of this. Do they really need a Rebbe to tell them to seek shelter when 2,000‑pound ballistic missiles are falling from the sky? How did we get to a point where basic survival instincts are outsourced?
A friend of mine—a grown man, a father of four—told me he asked his Roshei Yeshiva (from a well‑known English Yerushalayim yeshiva, whose name I’ll leave out) whether he should go to a miklat during sirens. The Rosh Yeshiva told him no, and added that he himself doesn’t go in. This was after the news that nine people had been killed.
What kind of leadership is that? Why is someone who gives such advice still delivering shiurim?
I told my friend plainly: if his Rosh Yeshiva truly cared about him, he would tell him to follow safety regulations and take cover. Would he take full responsibility if one of his students got killed , Chas Ve'sholom, in an attack because the student decided to forgo the shelter?
And honestly—why is a grown adult asking his Rosh Yeshiva whether he should go to a shelter during a missile attack? What have we come to? Do we really need “Daas Torah” to tell us to protect ourselves during a cluster‑bomb barrage?
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured the impact site in Arad after an Iranian ballistic missile struck between residential buildings and left a trail of destruction. His message was direct: Israelis must enter protected spaces immediately, as new findings show most of those wounded in Arad and Dimona were not in shelters when the missiles hit.
Iran Is Losing the War but you wouldn't know it reading the New York Times or Listening to CNN ,ABC or AP
Three weeks in, the U.S. military has struck more than 8,000 targets. Iran’s air defenses are almost completely destroyed, its command structure decimated, its proxy network in tatters. By any military measure, Iran is losing.
And yet you wouldn’t know it from the coverage.
The New York Times tells us Iran has “shown no sign of backing down.” The Wall Street Journal runs a sophisticated piece explaining why Tehran “believes it is winning.” CNN elevates a disgraced former official’s claim that Israel dragged America into war. The Associated Press makes that claim its headline.
This is Iran’s cognitive war — and it is being fought largely with Western reporting, on Western platforms, by Western journalists.
The strategy is straightforward. Iran cannot defeat the U.S. military. It can, however, convince Western publics that the war is unwinnable, that the pain is unsustainable, and even that someone reasonable is waiting on the other side of a negotiating table. If that perception takes hold, political pressure does what Iranian missiles cannot.
What Iran needs to sustain this strategy is amplification it cannot provide itself. Iranian state media has no credibility with Western audiences. But the New York Times, CNN and AP do.
They are doing Iran’s job for them.
