Palestinians Improve Rockets: Sderot Turns into Ghost Town
[Ynet News] Yael Ivri - The streets of Sderot seemed emptier than ever. A large number of residents left the city for safer places. Those who stayed did not dare to leave the houses and the fortified areas. Only a few dared to go out to the market and the commercial centers, places which in the past were teeming with life. "Today the parents are afraid to send their children outside, and I understand them," said Haim Baranes, 28. "For a month and a half now, since they began firing the improved Kassam rockets at us, since the injuries and casualties here, people are afraid. I myself am under stress, most of my friends and the people my age have left the city."
