| Sderot mayor agrees to remain in office |
| 2007-12-14 |
| A Kassam missile slammed through the roof of a home in Sderot Thursday, wounding a woman as Kassam barrages hit the western Negev for a second straight day. Hours later, three Palestinians - including a known weapons dealer - were killed in an IAF strike in Gaza City, and three armed operatives were killed in what the IDF said was a targeted strike against a Kassam-firing unit. Following the barrages and the IAF retaliation, Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal - who resigned suddenly from his post Wednesday citing his frustration with the lack of government interest in Sderot's plight - rescinded his resignation. Moyal, who dramatically resigned during a live radio interview, said following a meeting with Defense Minister Ehud Barak that he would remain in office. |

| #3 Why don't they ignore the national government and just get their own weapons to fire back with.... Say a super gun ...For every missile.... 1000s shell in a slowly marching grid. |

| #1 From Yesterday Moyal has been the mayor of Sderot for just over nine years, and the city has been battered by an estimated 6,300 rockets over the past six years. The residents' ongoing suffering began when Sderot was first shelled with mortars by Arab terrorists from Gaza in April 2001, and the first Kassam rocket hit the city less than a year later. 2.8 Kassams per day for 2190 days straight. I would venture to think that Mayor Moyal has a lot to do with keeping up the moral of the paramedics, firefighters, cleanup crews etc as well of the some 20,000 citizens who continue to send their kids to school and so on. It is good he received a little more attention than the tourism man seemingly more worried about the party quiting. Assemble the trebuchets of garbage fury! |
