During
the 1996 "Grapes of Wrath" Operation, when terrorist's
Katusha rockets were falling on Israeli Lebanese border cities
and towns, Leyden suggested to Packard Bell and Shani Technologies
to install computers and Internet access into the air raid bunkers
so that the children would have a connection with the outside
world.
This public relations campaign was quickly picked up by the global
media and the Internet was now being used in a war theater to
aid a civilian population. Putting the PR campaign aside, we were
delighted that the use of Internet eased the fear and terror that
the children were being subjected to and provided them with many
smiles.
