On Tuesday, Shlomo Lampert and his team of 30 fellow volunteers cleared out an apartment building bomb shelter in Ashdod.
Twenty minutes after the last piece of old equipment was hauled out, the familiar siren of a rocket alert blared loudly, sending the volunteers and apartment residents back into the formerly packed shelter. The group crowded into the room as missiles flew overhead, grateful to finally have a place in which to shelter during one of the dozens of recent rocket attacks.
