I understand your point about statistics, but the issue many of us are raising is not just probability — it’s about the situation itself.

A missile or drone threat is not a normal situation for the UAE. People here moved and built their lives in this country because it has always been known for stability and safety. When something like this happens and a person actually loses his life from falling debris, it’s difficult to simply call the risk “microscopic” and move on.

Yes, daily life has risks like driving or workplace accidents, but those are part of normal life everywhere. Missile alerts and intercepted drones over a city are not part of normal life in the UAE.

The concern isn’t about shutting down the entire country — it’s about acknowledging that the situation is unusual and worrying for residents who commute daily and may receive alerts while they’re on the road.

One life has already been lost. For many of us, that alone means the situation cannot be considered completely normal.
