Last update - 14:52 21/02/2008 Sderot residents hold protest in downtown Tel Aviv By Yigal Hai, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Sderot, Israel, Qassams  Dozens of residents of Sderot and neighboring communities in the western Negev held a protest in Tel Aviv on Thursday, where they called for the government to take swift military action to fight the daily onslaught of Qassam rockets targeting their communities. The protestors were joined by local council heads from the Negev, including leaders from Be'er Sheva and Mitzpe Ramon, both of which are far outside of the range of Qassams. Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal said the protest was held in order to "bring the struggle to Tel Aviv so that everyone will see there is no difference between Sderot and the center of the country." Advertisement Moyal vowed to take the protest to Haifa and other northern cities and promised the protest in Tel Aviv would stay there for many days to come. In recent weeks, residents of the western Negev have held a number of protests in central Israel, including in front of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's residence in Jerusalem and outside Defense Minister Ehud Barak's house.
