Israelis Still Under Fire

[BBC News] Atara Orenbuch, a mother of six children in Sderot, reports: "Today we had two Kassam rockets. Every time there's a Red Alert, you drop everything and run to shelter. You lose a heartbeat each time. I know my children are safe in school, but it's the journey there and back I worry about. The terrorists love that time between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. Every morning, we get into the car and we don't know how it will end. I've felt like that for eight years." "After the war there was one week of quiet....But once the first rocket exploded after the war - that was it. The war didn't do enough." Omri Barsheshet of Ashkelon explains: "We usually get one or two alarms every day. The rockets usually fall south of Ashkelon, but last weekend one fell inside a schoolyard." "I feel sorry for the people in Gaza; they are ruled by a terrorist organization which just wants to shoot rockets."
