Hear AIPAC's exclusive interview with Stav Cohen, a First Lieutenant in the Israel Defense Forces whose mother and brother barely escaped from a house that was hit by a rocket. Lieutenant Cohen describes how the rocket-making process has improved over recent years, leading to more destructive and deadly weapons. She also discusses the impact of the Qassam rockets on her family, the role of the army in protecting Israelis and the need to transform public opinion in Europe and the United States.
Sderot resident Michal Kakoon is a mother of two and a teacher. She describes how her children are coping with the constant fear of attacks and tells how she and her younger daughter survived after a Qassam blast knocked them over.
AIPAC also spoke recently with Aharon Polat. In the interview, he describes arriving on the scene of a deadly Qassam strike. Evacuated from a Gaza settlement in the disengagement, Polat tells of his children's fear now that rockets are reaching their new home.
