Iron Rain - Courage and determination on the Gaza border

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.

from above Sderot. This distance from Beit (or "Bayt") Hanun to Sderot is about three miles.
The range of the kassam rockets is about six miles. Kibbutz Nir-Am lies between the two cities..

The map below shows the location of kassam rocket strikes in Sderot during the past few years.
