John Mascaro's Photo Quiz
Answers from page 17
The black area and turn turf on this soccer field is a result of a rocket
landing on this infill artificial turf field. With the long standing conflict
between Israel and Palestine, unfortunately, it is almost common for
rockets to be fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel. On this occasion,
at 7:30 am, some 18 rockets were fired at Beersheba, of which the
Iron Dome (Israel's newly implemented mobile all-weather air defense
system) intercepted at least 12. A building suffered a direct hit, one
rocket hit a traffic island and caused damage to a bus, and a third
rocket hit a car and caused damage to cars and buildings in the
area. The remaining rockets landed in open areas and on this athletic field. Thankfully, no injuries were reported in this attack. The
artificial turf pitch was totally renovated after the incident.
