(IsraelNN.com) The Home Front Command has ordered the IDF to add 150 nursery school teachers to help preschool nurseries in Ashkelon manage their classrooms and help get their small charges safely to a bomb shelter during an attack.

The women soldiers will also instruct older students in elementary schools how to respond when the Color Red incoming rocket alert siren sounds.

An Iranian-made Grad missile fired by Palestinian Authority terrorists in northern Gaza narrowly missed a preschool nursery Monday morning. A second missile scored a direct hit on a seven-story apartment building. Three other buildings were also damaged by the blasts.

Thirty IDF teachers were also sent to the western Negev city of Sderot last week, where Arab terrorists have battered the city with more than 7,600 Kassams since the start of the Oslo War (second intifada) in 2000.

Color Red Incoming Missile Alert Broadcast on Radio
Ashkelon and other towns, cities and kibbutzim in the Negev will also be able to hear the Color Red alert siren – by radio.

Radio Darom, ("Radio South") a popular station in the Negev, announced Monday it will begin broadcasting on-air warnings during rocket attacks.

The broadcasts will be similar to the procedure used by Voice of Israel government radio during the 2006 Second Lebanon War, when programs were interrupted to warn residents of incoming missiles.

Radio Darom will also maintain on-air status overnight in order to allow the warnings to be aired during times when there is no regular programming.
