Israeli Town of Sderot May Cancel School Year Due to Constant Palestinian Rocket Attacks
by John Little on 27/05/2007How do you send your kids to school when you’re under almost constant rocket attack? The rockets don’t have guidance systems so the schools can’t easily be targeted but the Palestinians would love nothing more than a Qassam rocket landing on a school packed full of children:
The Sderot Municipality has asked the Education Ministry for approval to terminate the current school year immediately, and resume classes in August should the security situation allow it.
Sderot children will return to school Sunday for the first time since the recent fighting broke out, although classes will be held outside the embattled town in areas that are not within the Qassam rocket’s range.
The students will be brought to Kibbutz Ruhama in armored buses, from which they will be bussed to schools in nearby towns.
Another Israeli civilian was killed by the rockets today.
