It took a second to grasp what we had been seeing as streaks of orange crossed the sky above out heads to be met with balls of fireside drifting up in the wrong way.
This was Iran’s missile barrage towards Israel, and Israeli air defences combating again.
Standing near the Israeli border with Syria, our place seemed to be below the flight path for a lot of the assault.
Each time a missile and interceptor impacted there have been explosions and sudden flashes.
However a number of the ballistic weapons managed to penetrate the defences and preserve flying deeper into Israel.
The missiles had been to date up that they had been barely audible.

Sky’s defence and safety editor Deborah Haynes charts the rivalry between Israel and Iran.
And so they saved on coming, a number of munitions at a time, flying from the course of Iran.
The sight of Iran and Israel successfully combating an air battle above our heads sounds prefer it must be harmful.

After an preliminary wave of missiles, there was sudden calm till once more a fireplace ball shifting up from the bottom was noticed – proof that Israel’s air defences had been in motion once more.
The second wave of missiles appeared smaller.
We watched once more as interceptions erupted far up over our head.
Then as immediately it began, the missile onslaught stopped.
A couple of minutes later, although, the siren did begin wailing to warn of a rocket – reasonably than a missile – assault. It was fired by Hezbollah in Lebanon, sending my group and I sprinting for the shelter.
