The Israel Defense Forces has begun using technology that affords Sderot residents a 15 to 20 second warning of an incoming Qassam rocket fired from
the Gaza Strip. The system, which is connected to Sderot's public address system, was used for the first time a week ago, and judged to be a
success.

It may not seem like much but any chance to react and take cover has got to be better than none. Since the system can also pinpoint the origin of the
launch within a second, the next step is to tie into a method of quick-reaction counterattack.
