Comptroller says over quarter of Israelis unprotected from missile threat
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOver a quarter of Israelis are not properly protected from the threat of missile attacks, a new report by State Comptroller Matanyahu Engelman says.
Some 2.6 million Israelis, 28 percent of the population, do not have proper shelter in case of missile attacks near their homes, the report says — including 50,000 people who live up to nine kilometers (5.6 miles) from the volatile northern border.
The report notes that there are believed to be hundreds of thousands of rockets and missiles threatening Israel from beyond its borders.
