[Ynet News] Efrat Weiss - The Israel Defense Forces Home Front Command recently handed out leaflets to the residents of the port city of Ashdod, the town of Kiryat Malachi, and several other communities explaining the ways to properly prepare for missile attacks. The IDF believes that terror organizations in Gaza have managed to significantly increase their rocket launching range, to up to 30 kilometers (18.6 miles). The leaflets explain how to prepare a protected space in one's house against the missile threat and how to act when an air raid siren is sounded. "Due to the possibility that rockets will also reach your residential area, preparing and helping your family prepare for difficulties which are not familiar in daily life is essential," the leaflet said.
