Miracles happened back then Despite I'm not Israeli, I know a soldier (Oleh Hadash) who participated in Cast Lead and he witnessed a strange woman dressed in rags who guided them all the time to avoid stepping on the mines and booby traps that the enemy set for them. He told me it was Rachel, "our mother". He abandoned atheism because of the things he saw. Incredible!
