The Embassy of Israel to the United States on Thursday shared a video showing Miriam, a 105-year-old Holocaust survivor, celebrating her birthday inside a bomb shelter as Iranian missiles targeted the Jewish state.
The embassy’s X post described the moment as a display of “a lifetime of resilience.” Social media users responded with messages of support and admiration, including posts reading “Am Yisrael chai” [the People of Israel live], and “God loves her.”
