Our Israeli correspondent MC reports from his home in Sderot on a near miss by a Palestinian missile. (Previously: Day 1, Day 2, Days 3 and 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7.)
Sderot: Day Ten
by MC
A missile hit about 50 yards down the road from us. We are all OK, but a bit shaken up.
The electricity is out, but I have the router on a UPS.
There was a volley of three; all exploded within 150 yards. Today we have had about four volleys go over. This was the only one that came close.
I hope to get some photos later.
Sending this before the batteries fail.
MC lives in the southern Israeli city of Sderot. For his previous essays, see the MC Archives.
MC:
Thanks for your reports from the “front line”, ie your home, they are much appreciated, and I hope that you will be safe.
I was interested to read about your time serving on HMS Hampshire. One day we must discuss the Sea Slug missile, which has always fascinated me. A much better missile to talk about!
Yea, it was an impressive brute, on a test firing we got a physical hit on a sub-sonic drone as about 15 miles.
