Will grandma make it to the safe room in 15 seconds?

This is the reality that men and women living in Israel (and not only in the south) face every day, sometimes ten times a day. 

Imagine that you are just trying to live your life. However, terrorists constantly fire rockets at your hometown.

Now imagine that you are in your kitchen cooking dinner. When the siren goes off, you only have 15 seconds to get to the shelter. Even if the shelter is in the basement and you are on the second — or third or fourth — floor, you still have only 15 seconds. 15 seconds that separate life from death.

This is the reality that men and women living in Israel (and not only in the south) face every day, sometimes ten times a day.

Since June 12, many regions in Israel have been the target of ever-increasing rocket and other terrorist attacks from the Gaza Strip, aimed deliberately at civilian targets.

These rockets have injured Israelis, damaged cars, homes and property. In addition to the rocket attacks, Palestinians have carried out cross-border attacks from Gaza.

Hamas controls the Gaza Strip since 2007 and bears responsibility for the rocket attacks
