Lucky moment Israeli civilians escape death after downed rocket lands inches away
The pair stared death in the face when a supposed rocket fell just feet away from them as they walked down a street in Tel Aviv.
Two Israeli men have narrowly escaped a grisly fate after part of an alleged Hamas rocket narrowly missed them.
In a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, two men can be seen walking down the street in what purports to be Tel Aviv.
Minding their own business, the two men get the fright of their lives seconds later, when what appears to be part of a rocket zooms towards them from above.
The men narrowly escape being seriously hurt as the "rocket" falls through a tree right in front of them.
The video, which has not yet been independently verified, was posted on the X account @newsbluntmedia. It appears to be the remnants of a rocket, but this also has not been verified.

Recorded on Tuesday, December 5, the supposed rocket landed in Israel following the end of a short truce between Israel and Palestine.
The pause began on November 24 and was extended twice before it fell apart, with heavy bombing and civilian deaths mounting in the stricken Gaza Strip.
Each of the warring sides blamed the other for the collapse of the truce by rejecting terms to extend the daily release of hostages held by militants in exchange for detained Palestinians.
Hamas has also purportedly launched rockets at Israel since the war broke out on October 7, in which Hamas militants killed 1,200 people in Israel in an unprecedented attack.

Following the October 7 attacks, rockets are believed to have been fired by militants in Lebanon, though this has not been officially confirmed.
Israel's retaliation has laid waste to much of the Gaza Strip, with attacks also carried out in the West Bank.
The United Nations has approved data released by Palestinian authorities which say more than 15,000 people have been killed in the conflict so far.
