Wave of Kassam Rockets Shatters Sderot Calm
(Ha'aretz) Nir Hasson - Nine Palestinian Kassam rockets fired from Gaza have fallen within the city limits of Sderot since Friday and an equal number in its environs. "It's like Russian roulette in this city," said Sderot resident Meir Azran, after a rocket landed next to his house. The Kassam alarm system worked efficiently this week, warning of an incoming rocket 20 to 30 seconds before it landed. Deputy Mayor Oren Malka was sitting with his family next to a large glass window in his living room. "All of a sudden we heard 'red dawn' [the warning alert]. I gathered everyone up and moved them. When the rocket fell, the glass exploded." It is widely acknowledged in Sderot that the alarm system has also made people more anxious.
