The international fellowship of Christians and Jews announced on Monday that it will donate NIS 8 million to strengthen communities around Gaza in light of the recent rocket attacks in the region.
The contribution, which will go into an immediate operations basket, is a continuation of an extensive NIS 30 million project which began in 2011 and includes a variety of protective actions such as equipping rescue forces and communities in the South. The operation is being completed these days.
