The Media Line Speaks to Sderot Residents as #rockets Rain

@themedialine’s Michael Sfaradi and Dario Sanchez were in Sderot Wednesday to gather the firsthand accounts of residents and hear how they were holding up. The small Israeli city near the #gaza Strip border has faced an intense barrage of rockets from Palestinian armed groups over the past day, and the tension and fear in the area are palpable. A cease-fire negotiated through Egyptian mediation began at 9 pm, providing a brief respite. Still, it only lasted about an hour and a half before rockets started firing again toward Israeli communities near the Gaza border. #israel #palestine
