5-Nov-11: Israel successfully and surgically pre-empts yet another Islamic Jihadist rocket attack

AP is reporting in the past hour that a targeted Israeli airstrike on terrorists in the Gaza Strip "preparing to fire rockets into southern Israel" has killed an Islamic Jihad terrorist and wounded three others. A spokesman, Adham Abu Salmia, speaking for the Health Ministry of the terrorism-addicted Hamas regime, confirms the death and injuries and says the four were hit by shrapnel.

For its part, the Islamic Jihad terror organization, quoted by AP, acknowledges not only that the men belong to IJ but that they were members of the same IJ gang that fired rockets into Israel a week ago. We reported two days ago ["Raining rockets, and as always Israeli children are in the terrorists' sights"] that Moshe Ami, a grandfather and resident of Ashkelon, was killed in that attack.

Note that no one - other than the terrorists, caught in the act - was injured in the Israeli attack from the air.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
