More than 1 million people in the northern Gaza Strip have been ordered to evacuate to the south. Here’s the latest on the war:
Residents of the southern Israeli city of Sderot boarded buses for other parts of the country on Sunday to escape the rocket barrages from the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian Hamas militants who infiltrated Israel on a rampage that killed more than 1,300 people more than a week ago have also bombarded the country with thousands of rockets. Sderot, a city of about 34,000 people located about a mile from the Gaza border, has been a frequent target. One of the residents, Yossi Edri, told Channel 13 before boarding a bus that 'children are traumatized, they can’t sleep at night.”
Thousands already left the city last week under a state-sponsored program that puts them up in hotels elsewhere as a respite from the violence. The program in Sderot was expanded Sunday. “There is no reason to return to Sderot,” Mayor Alon Davidi told Army Radio. “It’s on the front line.”
