299 Queen Street West and the golden era of MuchMusic | SaltWireSDEROT, Israel - The deadly Hamas attack of Oct. 7 has not scared Avi Barssessat away from his factory in Sderot, an Israeli town near the Gaza war zone that has long borne the brunt of the Islamist group's rockets.
Today much of the town remains empty. Many homes are locked up and there are few people in the streets apart from military patrols. A half built home development complex remains untouched with overhead cranes standing idle. "To be in a situation where people are living constantly under threat of rockets is a crazy predicament to be in," he said.
Carrar is developing batteries for electric vehicles whose technology provides cooling capabilities that maintain a stable battery temperature, tripling the lifetime of EV batteries, company executives said. "We are talking about a few years vision," he said, describing the Sderot facility as his operation's"mothership".Across the line with Gaza, where Hamas fighters have dug in, Israeli jets have kept up a relentless bombardment that has flattened entire neighbourhoods and killed more than 8,000 people, according to Palestinian authorities. There is no indication of when normal life might return.
