Each time Hamas shoots a rocket at this southern Israeli town, its 19,000 residents have almost no time to run to safety.
Hamas shot a rocket on Sunday at the southern Israeli town of Sderot, which has been on the receiving end of such attacks since Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005.
The residents of Sderot and other communities in close vicinity to Gaza have a mere 15 seconds to reach safety.
To put that into perspective, these people, including small children, have to outrun the world’s fastest man.
This video really drives the point home.
Sign the Petition to Stop Funding the Palestinian Authority
Petition to the United States and European Union
We demand that all funding of the PA be stopped immediately. The brutal murder of Israelis committed by Palestinian terrorists throughout Israel is the latest result of ongoing PA incitement against Israeli citizens. Funding the PA means funding terror.
