In the middle of the tragic bloodshed and endless retaliation in Gaza Strip, many people are worried about looming the rocket attacks that might befall anytime soon.
With so many questions coming from the scared crowd, the country’s popular news site YNet News has facilitated an Internet chat between the public and Israel’s Home Command spokeswoman Lieutenant-Colonel Ariella Ben-Avraham about safety tips in the event of rocket attacks.
Some hope to have a warning alert via SMS while others are concerned if their cities will be affected by these rockets. According to Reuters, Avraham has offered no better alternative than to rely on the age-old system wherein alarm is sounded over loudspeakers and the civilians have about 15 seconds to go for cover. As for motorists, they should “should pull over, get out their cars, lie down and protect their heads with their hands†upon hearing the alert.
In the last Israeli offensive, more than 100 Palestinians were killed and to make things more tragic, 60 were civilians.

such a pity that no one mention (as always) why Israel attacking the Hamas. to remind you all, Israel left Gaza 2 years ago, and in that time, the palestinians instead of building a country, they start shouting rockets from schools as u can see in the following movie:

killing 11 people, and wounded more then 1000.
so please, next time you mention “60 were civilians” keep in your mind to show the all picture, and not one side, specially the terrorist side.
