A resident of Ashdod on Sunday found an unexploded rocket on the roof of his apartment building.
The man, a Gerrer Chossid, went up to the roof of his building – and was stunned to see the unexploded rocket.
He quickly called police who arrived with emergency personnel as well as the bomb squad, who attempted to defuse the rocket. However, the rocket had become fused with the tar on the roof, and defusing it would have required excessively moving it, which could have caused the missile to explode.
As of Sunday night, experts were still working on defusing the missile. Residents of the building have been evacuated, and dozens of sandbags have been brought up to the roof in order to absorb the shock of an explosion, if one should take place.
