From Breitbart: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received a hero’s welcome from locals as he visited the site of a deadly Iranian missile strike in the city of Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv, on Sunday.
“Bibi, King of Israel,” a crowd sang, playing on the words of a popular Jewish folk song, “David, King of Israel.”
Netanyahu inspected the carnage at an apartment building where an Iranian ballistic missile that evaded Israel’s air defenses killed nine people, including three children, and wounded scores more overnight Saturday into Sunday.

Journalist Yama Wolasmal said residents in Bat Yam are supportive of Netanyahu’s airstrikes on Iran, but they didn’t expect Iran to be able to retaliate the way they have.
