Press Release: Sderot Rally for Hope
In a rally organized by Sderot Media Center, hundreds of Sderot residents, Israeli youth, university students, and international supporters, will gather together to mark a year to Operation Cast Lead and a new decade of peace and hope for Sderot and the world on Dec. 31.
Sderot, Israel: 31/12/09: This Thursday, the Sderot Rally for Hope, lead by Sderot and southern Israeli residents, will mark a year to Operation Cast Lead and a new decade for hope and end to terror.
