One rocket was fired yesterday from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory and was intercepted by the air defense fighters. Earlier, a red color alarm was activated in Sderot and nearby settlements. By a chilling coincidence, the alarm was activated in Sderot during the commemoration of the late Ela Abouxis, who was killed by a Qassam strike 18 years ago.
During the night: the Air Force attacked in the Gaza Strip; Several rockets were fired into the Gaza Strip
Yonatan Aboksis, Ella’s father, spoke this morning (Thursday) with Guy Peleg and Nissim Meshal on their program on 103FM, and said: “We gathered in Ella’s tabernacle, a place built in Ella’s memory, after she was murdered, during the ceremony when Rabbi Ifergan spoke, a red alarm sounded. There were people there who came to honor Ella’s memory, some of them are not residents of Sderot, they went into hysteria, stress, they didn’t know what to do. We shout ‘the place is protected’, but nothing, people took time to relax and believe that the place is really protected and can protect them “.
He told about his daughter’s difficult death: “She jumped on her little brother and lay down on him, the Qassam fell near them and she caught the shrapnel and lost consciousness on the spot. It’s really unfathomable to the mind that after 20 years and more of Qassam shooting this thing is not over. It’s not Ends”.
When asked if he had any hope that the situation would change due to the recent change of government, he replied: “We are constantly waiting, but we also do not forget when she was killed during a right-wing, Likud shift. I don’t know what they have done much since then, because since then more people have been killed in Sderot and injured We really hope and expect that there will be an end to this.”
He attacked: “I said it then – as soon as you agreed that we would be protected, you agreed that there would be more Qassams here, you put up with it. The late previous mayor said, ‘We will not protect ourselves knowingly,’ but nevertheless they protected all Sderot. Those who didn’t have MMD were built for him, but that doesn’t provide a solution. I had MMD at home, but my daughter was killed in the street.”
“We want peace here, go to Kesha, to the price list. Kasem? No electricity for half a year. Another Kasem? No electricity and no work. We need to go to Kesha with them. It cannot be that today in 2023 a terrorist manages to release a recording from the prison. Where can we hear Such a thing? That’s how she incites all the terrorists,” he added.
“We walked with them with a stick and a carrot, well, they got money, we rehabilitated them, I remember them as a child how they walked around Gaza, without shoes and without clothes. This should be shown to them in propaganda. Today they raise their heads. They shoot at night and in the morning come to Sderot to work, This thing was not caught,” Bikar said.
