Israelis Forced to Take Shelter as Gaza Fires Rockets
(Sky News-UK) Deborah Haynes - Moran Freibach, 48, who lives in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, said he was cooking a barbecue for his wife and children on Monday night when a rocket warning siren started up. The family ran inside and took shelter in two iron-enforced "safe rooms." "This place, 95% of the time, is heaven, (but) 5% of the time - this is 5% of the time," he said. A school building has a specially built roof and walls of thick, heavy concrete. A second building is surrounded by concrete blast walls painted with colorful pictures, to try to lighten the mood. The children and their parents are trained to race for shelter the moment the siren sounds.
