Israel Fortifies 10,000 Homes in Gaza-Vicinity Communities
(Jerusalem Post) Eliyahu Kamisher - Israel's Construction and Housing Ministry recently concluded a NIS 1.3 billion fortification project in Sderot and 43 other communities within 7 km. of Gaza. "The project to fortify homes in Gaza-vicinity communities provided 9-sq.m. bomb shelters for 10,140 housing units that previously had no shelters," the ministry said. Sderot Mayor Alon Davidi spoke Thursday of the train station - fortified against rocket attacks - and a construction boom that includes six new neighborhoods. Children play in fortified playgrounds, with bomb shelters a few meters away. On July 1, a rocket hit an empty kindergarten.
