NEWS FROM AN ALIEN PLANET

Every day, so-called "militants" in the Gaza Strip launch rocket attacks on the Israeli city of Sderot. These attacks are rarely reported so this item from EuroNews seemingly takes on the guise of news from an alien planet in some distant solar system.

There are no hotels open in town and the news crew stayed with a private family. This, and the fact that the attacks are indiscriminate and aimed at civilian areas, possibly explains in part why certain journalists have conveniently managed to stay away from the story.
