Watch the moment a dash cam from a car driving down an Israeli highway catches rockets impacting just ahead.
The Home Front Command directions for what to do if rocket alert sirens sound while one is driving are as follows: Stop the vehicle on the side of the road, turn off the engine, and get out of the vehicle as safely as possible.
If it is possible to reach a nearby building, do so. If not, move away from the vehicle, to the side of the road or safety barrier, and lie on the ground with your hands covering your head for 10 minutes.

For nearly 200 years, those who deliver newspapers—a cornerstone of U.S. democracy—have operated as independent contractors. But New Jersey’s interpretation of the Biden administration’s new rule, which has a six-part test to determine employment status, treats part-time delivery people as full-time staff who are dependent on their employer, rather than in business for themselves.
