Get to see Sderot Media Center's work

Hello readers, 

So I am a little bit late but I will share with you some of the work done by Sderot Media Center

to share the reality of living under the threat of rockets for over a decade.

But first few updates:

1. Israel accepted a ceasefire today between 8 AM to 8 PM.

2. Foreign worker was murdered by Hamas rockets couple days ago. May he rest in peace.

3. 36 IDF soldiers killed in action. The MIA soldier was now officially decalred dead by the IDF. May they rest in peace.
4. 150 Hamas' terrorists surrendered themselves to IDF couple of days ago.

Now, get a glimpse to some of Sderot Media Center work.

Couple of days ago I joined my friends from SMC Kosta Monastirsky and Yaniv Friedman

while reporters from the USA came to Sderot to see in their own eyes whats going on.

Kosta lead the tour.

We began at the Sderot PD, in their "rockets museum" collection of hundreds of rockets that fell in Sderot over the years.

Kosta briefed about the rockets, what are they made, their development over the years, radius of imapct, and how different terror groups mark them to get themselves "street cred"/making name for themselves and building their reputation among the other groups.

Later we continued to a home hit by a rocket 2 days prior to the reporters visit. The Iron Dome didn't intercept that time. There were children in the house. Except from a lady and a very young baby everyone got to the shelter. It was a miracle that the lady nor the baby were not hurt that time.

The reporters were shocked by the damage to the house, inside and outside, discussed with the resident (a widow mother) and her challange and trouble with this situation going for years, and now that her home was ruined by a rocket.

Later on we continued to the famous hill from where all the reporters like to report, and show the gaza border. The Hill was empty, the reporters were down while the cameras kept rolling.

rThose reporters standing down the hill wore vests for protection.

We get up to the hill to show them how close gaza is (in straight line its about half a mile)

We talk about the closeness, the rockets range, and also, the terror tunnels used in the previous days to infiltrate to Israeli towns by Hamas' and the threat it pose to Israeli civilians. 

While we were talking Code Red Alarm was going on. Near by we had no shelter only seconds to get cover. We ran down a little bit, layed down on the ground, cover our heads and waited to what comes next. Apparently this time the rockets were intecepted successfully. 

The reporters got a real taste of life under rocketss threat.

ISo tell me, what would you do if rockets were fired over a decade at your city? What would you do if terrorists enter your town through tunnels to massacare and slaughter everyone? Its time to stop terror, STOP HAMAS!

Stay tuned for more posts, news, details, experiences and photos.
