My guess is zero, and if they had the brains the Lord gave a zebra mussel they would take note of that "fortified room" fact. It is a glaring example of the real nature of the Palestinian Arabs' war on Israel. As the rockets start to come from all directions, with Israel withdrawals from the West Bank as demanded by the Euros, the UN, the various Arab states, and even the USA, and with the unleashing of Hezbollah, Israelis are all going to have to have a fortified room in their homes, unless something drastic is done to stop the rocket fire. But the existence of fortified rooms is a fact, and reporters and editors are not professionally trained or inclined by their characters to notice such uncomfortable facts, understand them, and explain them to their readers. Rather than "afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted" they are, in Israel's case, afflicting the threatened and comforting the threateners.
