In Southern Israel, Families Still Live in Fear of Hamas Rockets
[Times-UK] Sheera Frenkel - For nine days Avraham Tiger has not left the Emergency Medical Center in Sderot, where he is chief paramedic. "There has been an unending barrage of rockets. We live by the warning sirens." In the nine years since Gazans first developed missile-launching capabilities, Mr. Tiger's home has been hit twice. "Two years ago I collected one friend in a body bag. Another friend was struck in the neck by shrapnel from a rocket and died in my arms." "Two days ago we treated a young Palestinian boy that was brought out of Gaza. We suddenly came under fire from rockets as we were treating him but we acted as though he was one of our children."
