The Home Front Command is starting a new initiative to teach children who live in communities in Qassam rocket-range from the Gaza Strip, about their new reality, and to prepare them for worst-case scenarios. Since the Israeli military withdrawal, over forty border towns have become the new frontline for mortar attacks.
Counselors will distribute special booklets for young children about mortars, rockets, and terrorists, and ask children how they would react in certain situations. Another exercise asks the children to draw a Qassam as they imagine it to look, in order to show them that a Qassam "isn't that big". A lecturing officer explained that the children are then shown an actual Qassam and "the child understands its proportions, and this gives him the feeling that he can deal with it, dispelling the feeling that one must live with eternal insecurity.?
