Introduction to Sderot, Israel
Sderot is a city in the Southern District of Israel, located in the northwestern Negev Desert near the border with the Gaza Strip. It was founded in 1951 as a transit camp for Jewish immigrants, and was granted city status in 1996. With a population of about 25,000, Sderot is known as a multicultural community, with most of its residents of Jewish origin from India, Ethiopia, and North Africa.
The city's economy is based on light industry and agriculture, with a gradual development of high-tech industries in recent years. Due to its proximity to Gaza, Sderot often faces security challenges, but has an advanced rocket warning system. The city has a low cost of living and is known for its educational resources and community solidarity, attracting many young families.
Sderot is easily accessible by public transportation, connecting it to major cities such as Be'er Sheva and Ashkelon. Despite its small size, its unique border location and culture of resilience make it a microcosm of Israeli urban development.
