“I was unable to move,“ he told AFP. “Some youth came and pulled me out of the car. My leg was wounded with shrapnel and I was brought to the hospital for treatment. I stayed for three days without knowing what was happening, not hearing anything and not sleeping.He recounted how a five-year-old boy, named Yazan, “was standing at the door of his house near another car. When the rocket exploded, the car was blown out of place and burned with a number of other cars.
Arabs descended from Palestinians who stayed on their lands after the founding of the state of Israel in 1948 account for around 21 percent of the population of Israel. Activist Ali Abu Sabih said “there are no shelters... four people were killed in the village: my cousin who was baking bread with her 10-year-old granddaughter beside her, and two siblings from another family” by rocket fire.
Another officer said “the sand protects from rockets, but if the rocket strikes directly, the prefabricated shelters do not provide full protection”.A former member of the Knesset, Walid al-Hawashla, the head of relief work in the Negev area, said there were 18 killed in the region, “six because of rockets that hit their houses, and 12 who were working in agriculture in the area around Gaza on the first day of the Hamas attack”.
