Mayor, Sha’ar Hanegev
SHA’AR HANEGEV, Israel — A rocket exploded Saturday night, July 31, on the roof of our Hydro Therapy Center. The center is situated in the educational campus, where the schools and Sapir Collage are located.
Fortunately, children with special needs were not in the facilitiy that they use to train their bodies and straighten their spirits.
Three rooms were completely destroyed. Huge damage was caused to the building and to expensive equipment.
Some hours later, I was very excited to see our old people who, as usual, came very early on morning to engage in physical activities.
Their determination and optimism fill me with determination and faith.
