Kassam rockets at the Sderot Police Department

Gaza Border

Courage and Determination
along Israel's Gaza Border

This website is dedicated to those individuals who live in the Sderot, Israel, area, and are within range of the thousands of rockets fired from Gaza in the past several years.

This website was created in 2008 and taken offline in 2018.
Because of the recent Hamas atrocities I am putting this back online for historical purposes.
Israelis have suffered attacks from Hamas for many years.

snow being delivered
In February 2008 two truckloads of snow were delivered from the north of Israel to Kibbutz Nir-Am.

The rest of the photos on this and the following page are presented without commentary.
But please remember, in looking at the happy faces of these young people, that they live under the
constant threat of rocket attacks, and all of them have a practiced routine of finding the safest place
they can when the "color red" alarm is given. Many are in counseling. Many have regressed to a younger age.

This was a good day for the children of Kibbutz Nir-Am.
