Probably more like a finger sweep across a touch screen these days. And those touch screens can get rather sensitive.

Not many I imagine. Our friends on PPRuNe may have answered that as think some did. They'll most likely use https://www.flightradar24.com/ and you can track there. All running smoothly now though some cancelled: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airports/ika

Interesting, bsb. Will have to watch the footage again. Probably knew missiles were going off.

Same point made on PPRuNe. They think the two missiles, heard one, started to film and boom.
