After 5-year-old’s death, IDF orders residents to stay below bomb shelter windows

The IDF orders the public to close all windows in their rocket shelters and stay below the bottom of the window, after 5-year-old boy Ido Avigal died from a rocket shard that penetrated his Sderot apartment’s designated safe room.

“We had an irregular incident in Sderot of a shelter that was penetrated through the window,” says IDF Spokesperso Hidai Zilberman. “The window was standard. The irregularity was in the angle of the hit and its speed.”
