In the latest escalation of violence along the Gaza border, nearby Israeli communities and residents in southern Israel have been under constant rocket barrages for the past nine days. In light of the dangers the region has experienced on a daily basis, KKL-JNF has donated some 100 portable bomb shelters to distribute to cities and other central locations in the vicinity.
With the help of Israel's Defense Ministry, Diaspora Jews and Israel supporters, these new and modern bomb shelters, which can hold at least 12 people, will offer residents in the South quick and accessible protection.
"KKL-JNF considers it of paramount importance to help, assist and protect the residents of the Gaza Envelope during these sorts of emergencies, as it is important during calmer days," global chairman Avraham Duvdevani announced.
