Sderot has long been on the front lines but the last Hamas attack was something utterly different, and residents want the situation to change.
Israelis are evacuated Sunday from the southern town of Sderot, near Israel's border with Gaza. SDEROT, Israel — Just a mile away from Gaza, the city of Sderot is no stranger to being on the front lines of Israel’s wars with Hamas.
Thousands who did not flee in the initial attack have been ferried out like Ben Haim and his family to hotels on the Dead Sea and other parts of Israel. On the other side of the fence, 2,750 Palestinians in Gaza have already died in the air and artillery assault since last Saturday, according to Palestine health authorities.“Shut the door, shut the door!” she implored, as a nurse checked in with her on Tuesday, still paranoid that gunmen were on the loose.
The last of those taking up the offers of the evacuation buses to leave gathered at a school in the rocket-scarred town to head out over the weekend, dragging suitcases and hauling bags.As a second group waited for a ride out, a rocket flashed across the sky and people rushed toward the school shelter, reminding some of their reasons for leaving. Some 74 rockets have made direct hits on homes here over the past week.
