There are not enough shelters.
Operation Lifeshield is changing that.
Many Israeli citizens are faced with constant physical and psychological danger from the threat of Hamas and Hezbollah missile attacks.
Sderot and other Negev communities must endure the daily threat of rocket attacks while larger cities, like Ashkelon (7 miles north of Gaza) are being targeted by Hamas with longer range missiles.
From South Lebanon, Hezbollah threatens the Northern Israeli citiles of the Galilee with renewed attack, thus the need for shelters now.
The only way to live a “normal” life under abnormal conditions is to have appropriate shelters available for people to run to within 30 seconds of hearing the Code Red alarm, indicating an incoming missile.
Operation Lifeshield shelters offer a way for Israeli citizens to go about their daily lives and still be protected.
Operation Lifeshield is a U.S. based, non-profit organization 501(c)3, raising needed funds to build and deliver transportable shelters to areas in Israel most at risk.
