When missiles fall on Eretz Yisrael, do we understand that the protection comes from Torah learning and mitzvot, not from iron domes? Rav Kanievsky promised that no missiles would hit Bnei Brak during the Gulf War because he learned an extra hour starting at 1am instead of 2am. That's real protection.

Eretz Yisrael's true protection, as Hashem declares in the Torah, stems from Torah learning and mitzvot, not physical weapons like the Iron Dome. Rav Chaim Kanievsky exemplified this during the Gulf War, increasing his Torah study and promising Bnei Brak would be untouched by Saddam Hussein's missiles – a promise fulfilled, demonstrating Torah's protective power. Recent events, with over 4,000 missiles hitting Eretz Yisrael without a single death, reveal miraculous protection often wrongly attributed to the Iron Dome. This reliance on weaponry, rather than Hashem, is a profound misunderstanding and a failure in bitachon and emunah. Hashem alone protects us when we uphold His Torah and mitzvot.
