Reminiscent from pre disengagement days in Gaza, residents of Ashkelon next week are planning a human chain to enlist support and bring attention to the plight of the city’s residents along with the residents of the Greater Sderot Area.

The effort will get underway next week under the banner, “That’s it – This is the Line!” Details to be announced.

Police have given a permit for a Thursday afternoon event in Ashkelon, beginning at 16:00, at which time Ashkelon residents will protest by blocking area roads.
