Taken at a restaurant in Sderot in Southern Israel moments before a car alarm that we thought was a rocket siren went off and scared us all half to death. Just that week over 400 rockets were launched into Israel from Gaza
Talking to this young boy we happened to meet while we were exploring the city, we learned that this playground ws designed around these bunkers painted to look like caterpillars. Because of the proximity of this town to Gaza, less than a mile away, the citizens have no margin of error when rockets start exploding around them. Te Israelis have invested huge amounts of money into protecting their citizens with bunkers and the iron dome, but families still have to live everyday knowing that at any moment they could be attacked with no warning by radical Muslims from Gaza
