Rocket Risk Halts Israeli Water Process
Excerpts;
“Israel’s water company has stopped injecting chlorine gas at a facility near the Gaza Strip for fear that Palestinian-fired rockets would hit tanks holding the potentially deadly substance.”
“Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza have launched rockets that have landed near sensitive installations outside the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon in recent weeks, including a power plant and fuel depot.”
“Menachem Nechama, director of Mekorot Water’s southern division, said no rockets have fallen near the company’s installation near Ashkelon, but preventively, the company has begun using the more expensive liquid hypochlorite instead of chlorine gas to disinfect the water supply.”
“Stronger response” — like say, apprehending those who chopped down some olives? Or, kidnapping some trained guard dogs?? MB
