Hello to all our new readers!
Today I was interviewed and later joined foreign journalists and news reporters who visited my city, Sderot.
I was invited by the man who lead this tour, Noam Bedein, a journalist and the head of Sderot Media Center.
So in 10 AM we met with the journalists near the operation centers of Sderot.
Noam gave a briefing about Sderot and the security situation.
After the briefing me and other residents who speak in foreign languages were interviewed by this journalists.

After that, Knesset Member Shuli Mualem who visited Sderot was interviewed by the journalists.
Than we visited the rockets museum in the police stations. Hundreds of rockets that have hit Sderot.
The journalists took photos and asked some more questions.
In 11 AM we went to "Denver" the paint factory that EXPLODED 2 weeks ago in saturday evening.
The stench of the chemicals that burned is still really strong and bad even after all this time and the cleaning going on. The factory owner Baruch Kogan was interviewed by the journalists. in about 11:20 AM we so Iron Dome intercepts rockets in the air, then followed by Code Red alarm. The journalists were stressed and we all ran to a more safe place behind the factory. It is very uneasy and scary experience.
A video of us running to safety can be viewed here: http://www.hnn.co.il/gallery26681.html
We were on our way to the next stop when the journalists heared in the microphone a young girl talk about the rockets in her town minutes earlier (in English).

After that we went to the worlds first shelterd playground for young children.
The Journalists talked with parents and children, heard about the project by a representative.
After that we want to a hill that you can see gaza from and how close it is to Sderot.
The journalists heard mayor of Sderot Mr. Alon Davidi speak about Sderot, the rocket threat and the need to stop terror of hamas. The journalists asked him questions and took photos of gaza.
Before the end of the tour Mr. Noam Bedein Gave more information about Sderot's history, demography and the mixture of different cultures in the city. The journalists were especially surprised to hear that in Sderot many arabs from Gaza and "palestinian territories" decided to live. Also Sderot is home now of over 1000 war refugees from Sudan.
I can say that it was very interesting day, both for me, and the journalists and reporters, a little bit scary but overall important experience.
