Ultra-Orthodox Israeli men help an elderly Israeli woman run to a shelter as a ‘Red Alert’ sounds in the southern Israeli coastal town of Ashdod, 17 November 2012. A short while earlier a Grad missile fired by Palestinian militants inside the Gaza Strip landed in the road behind, burning a car and shattering many windows of nearby apartments. Several Israelis were lightly wounded in this attack that the Iron Dome missile interceptor system failed to shoot down. Credit: EPA
