Gov’t asks southerners to document danger

The Foreign Ministry calls on residents of southern Israel to document the dangers to which they are subjected every day due to rocket attacks on the area in order to give “those outside Israel” a glimpse of “the impossible reality in which a sizable percentage of residents of Israel live.”

Urging southerners to send photos and videos to IsraelUnderFire@Israel.org, along with their names in English, the Foreign Ministry says there is “no better way” to illustrate the plight of residents of the Israeli south than “the testimony of those who experience the difficulty and demonstrate a determination and refusal to succumb to threats — the residents themselves.”

Promising to share the materials with a large audience, the Foreign Ministry warns the residents not to put their lives in danger “for the sake of documenting the situation.”
