Beer Sheva mother's called national hero. She woke to sirens in middle of night, ran upstairs to grab 3 sleeping kids from 3 bedrooms, ran downstairs & got all into bomb shelter & shut blastdoor just as rocket hit.
Commentators: had there been casualties, #Israel would be at war.

Her house was totaled. The woman, Miri Tamano, raising her 3 kids, is a divorcee who was laid off 6 months ago. With a BA and writing skills.

Here is picture of Miri Tamano who was interviewed on Israeli TV. She detailed her rescue of her 3 boys, the terror of the rocket hitting her house, telling her boys to hold their crying to to say from Psalms "Give thanks to God for He is good, for His goodness endured forever" 
The bomb shelter's door was blocked, gas leaking, water, then the rescue team got us out. It was a miracle.
Maybe I am God's messenger to tell people to take the sirens seriously and get into the shelters.

Those asking about sending funds, Miri and family received a few thousand dollars for immediate needs from the Jewish Agency for Israel and from the Jewish community of Montreal, Beer Sheva's sister city.
Israeli gov agencies have lots of experience in such cases, unfortunately.
