In a residential neighborhood in Ashkelon, he left his vehicle and ran for cover, but was mortally injured by shrapnel flying from the rocket.
Magen David Adom paramedics rushed the rocket victim to Barzilai Medical Center in the city, but doctors were unable to save his life.
Before being evacuated to the hospital by MDA paramedics, Ami managed to answer a telephone call from his concerned wife and told her that he had been injured.
39 rockets and almost no response from Israel. Why shouldn’t they shoot at us. Pathetic.
Burech dyen emes….
very very sad. BD”E
reply to #5 – just as we gave back a thousand for one, we should kill a thousand for one
If EY gave back every remaining terrorist in its prisons, all 6,000 of them, those momzarim would still be firing rockets, since they shout “Allah Achbar” every time they fire one of those weapons.
What would be the “measured” U.S. response to groups firing rockets from Canada into Albany where Canada is doing nothing to stopping them?
How long would the U.S. wait before simply stepping in and cleaning it up? Time measured in hours. Yet Israel needs to hold back.
Israel must start deploying the missle armed drones to send these terrorists to their one seventy year old virgin on a daily basis..
9 dead…..how many more to go?????
So sad for his family.
