BUT SHARON WILL BE SAFE
Sharon’s Negev Ranch Fortified Against Rocket Attacks

(IsraelNN.com) The Shin Bet is among the many government agencies concerned about the “day after” the disengagement, primarily the day following the IDF withdrawal from Gaza.
While the IDF’s Homefront Command has fortified public buildings including schools in the western Negev against rocket attacks from Gaza, private homes are not included in the plan.
The Shin Bet(General Security Service), which is responsible for the security in and around Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s Sycamore Ranch, however, is unwilling to take such chances, realizing that security experts are predicting an increase in rocket attacks following the IDF’s retreat from Gaza. The rockets are expected to reach points further north of Gaza since terrorists will now be free to move up to the northern Gaza security fence to launch attacks into pre-1967 Green Line Israel.
As a result, the prime minister’s ranch has recently received a security facelift, which included fortifying the windows against rocket attacks.
Shin Bet officials declined comment on the report.
