| In the Israeli community of Eli |
Yisrael Jarmon who lives in Eli, an Israeli town of some 2,500, set out to drive into Jerusalem this morning, the eve of the Shavuot festival. At about 10 am, two Palestinian Arabs stand at the the side of the road. He approaches, and one of them throws a large rock, forcing Jarmon to slow down. The second Arab then opens fire with what appears to be an automatic rifle. Jarmon stays focused on driving straight ahead and reaches the town of Ofrah without injury.
He finds that 3 bullets struck his vehicle; one lodges itself in the steering wheel; another penetrates his door. He's fine, thank heavens.
The shooters remain alive, free, armed and motivated to try again in the coming days or hours. It's impossible to understand Israel's strategic defence needs without at least knowing about daily murder attempts like this one.
Did it make your newspaper?

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
