Adar Yaakov, a 6-year-old resident of Shlomi, thrilled the internet when he was asked by Channel 14 reporter Gal Tovi about his feelings under fire - and despite the frequent alarms, he demonstrated extraordinary resilience.

When Adar was asked if he and the children in the kindergarten were afraid of running to the police station, he answered confidently: "No. Do you know why? Because God protects us.".

Adar's documentation went viral and was seen as a powerful expression of the resilience of children on the front lines.
