IDF: Gaza retreat will expose 46 Negev communities to rocket fire
By: Israel Insider staff and partners

The implementation of the disengagement plan -- involving an Israeli pullout from the entire Gaza Strip -- will leave 46 western Negev communities exposed to mortar shelling and Qassam rocket fire, a Home Front Command official told the Knesset Interior Committee on Tuesday.

As a result, the committee decided to ask the government to provide NIS 340 million ($79M) immediately to fund a Home Front Command plan to protect communities in the Negev that are located seven kilometers from the border with the Gaza Strip.
