Last update - 22:03 08/07/2008 PMO: We lack funds to protect all homes in Gaza rocket range By Fadi Eyadat, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Rockets, Israel, PMO, Gaza The Prime Minister's Office on Tuesday announced that the safeguarding of homes more than 4.5 km from the Gaza border will be postponed due to a lack of state funds. Raanan Dinur, the director general of the prime minister's office, informed the heads of the relevant communities of the delay in a letter he sent on Tuesday. The towns and communities bordering the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip have been the target of almost daily rocket and mortar strikes by Palestinian militants for over seven years. Since a cease-fire Advertisement between Israel and Hamas took effect last month, the attacks have significantly diminished. A few weeks ago, the communities' heads requested that the reinforcement of their houses be expedited in accordance with a government decision in February. Dinur's letter also stated, however, that houses which are closer to coastal territory will be safeguarded first, while those further away will have to wait for such protection. The senior official stated that budgetary limitations was one of the reasons for this delay. The head of the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council, Alon Shuster, said in response: "Whoever doesn't understand the meaning of the Israel Defense Forces Southern Command's harsh evaluation of the situation, and estranges himself from the feeling of fear of the mothers in Kibbutz Kfar Aza is not suitable to stand at a central decision-making position at this time." Jimmy Kedoshim, a member of the aforementioned kibbutz , was killed by Palestinian mortar fire in May while standing in his garden.
