Gaza Rocket Attack Survivor: "Our Enemies Don't Understand that We Aren't Going Anywhere"

(Israel Hayom) Yaron Doron - This Sunday, the Wolf family - whose home on Moshav Mishmeret was destroyed by a rocket fired from Gaza last month - welcomed their fifth grandchild. Grandfather Robert Wolf told Israel Hayom: "Susan, my wife, still has shrapnel in her head....She was wounded all over her body because she had her back turned. She, like any good mother, took care that everyone made it into the safe room and didn't manage to get inside herself." "She's a very strong woman. The first thing she said in the hospital was, 'We're so lucky it landed on us, [since] we have a safe room, and not on the neighbors, who don't.'...You can't take it lightly - you need to get into the safe room [when there is a warning siren]. It saves lives." "What gives us strength is the miracle we experienced. Seven people were in a house, a rocket destroyed the house, and we're all still here....We'll build another house. I'm deeply rooted in this land. When I came to Israel 35 years ago [from the UK], there were 3 million people here. Now we're 9 million. Our enemies still don't understand that we aren't going anywhere. They don't understand that Israel is growing and getting stronger."
