Life in Sderot: Synagogues and bus stations as bomb shelters and rocket shrapnel marks on walls, kids playing during missile attack....

At the border with Gasa stip the  Israeli village Sderot is frequently attacked by arab missiles. We visited our relatives there  - immigrants from USSR. Most shocked was the too brave comment of teenage girl: "When there is missle attack, I usually stay at playground; we get used to it...".

Clip starts by showing  regular personal bunker where we  stayed overnight - very comfortable bed room! And it ends by showing how young soldier with rifle and beer bottle in his hand was crossing our way....

Проведали новых родсвенников в Израельском Здороте - на границе с Газой. Подивились их бесстрашному даже с бравадой быту с бомбоустойчивыми боксами в каждой квартире (мы ночевали в таком бохе), метками от ракетных осколков на стенах, укрепленными автобусными остановками-бункерами, синагогами-бомбоубежашими и детьми остающимися играть на дворе даже во время воздушной тревоги.

В конце солдат в майке, с витовкой на боку и откраытой бутылкой пива в руках перебегает нам дорогу...
