Building damaged by a kassam rocket
Damage caused by the kassam in an apartment of the building.
The clock stopped at the exact time the kassam hit.
Yossi, who lives in that apartment hid in the bathtub when the kassam hit because he could not get into a shelter in time. Here he participates in a pet therapy session.
Art therapy drawing done by Yossi. In the picture, is the word, 'Pachad', or fear in Hebrew. Yossi also drew a kassam falling on a person and house with no door, a very telling picture of Yossi's own feelings.
In this art therapy drawing is written the word 'Ka'as' or anger in Hebrew.
