Sderot: ‘Whoever Put These Stops Up is a Murderer’

Full Text;

Residents of Sderot expressed anger on Sunday after learning that dozens of special bus stops that were to provide protection from rockets are vulnerable to rocket attacks, and in fact could create an additional danger, as the material used in the bus stops could shatter during a rocket strike and create dangerous shrapnel. Parents Forum head Sasson Sarah said, “Whoever put these stops up is a criminal and a murderer, because young children could have hidden in them expecting security and been killed.”

Sderot Task Force head Alon Davidi said, “It’s not enough that the government fails to fulfill its function and does not order the IDF to begin ground operations in Gaza—now we feel they’ve turned their backs on us in this matter as well.”

Other residents of the city said they were unsurprised that the bus stops would not provide protection from rockets. A rocket had entered a supposedly reinforced community center, they said, and the Homefront Command spent millions of shekels to reinforce a school building, only to discover that the reinforced building was still vulnerable to rocket strikes.
