10-Nov-07: Qassam and counter-qassam

Earlier today (Saturday), Palestinian terrorists fired two more Qassam rockets into the Israeli town of Sderot. The Qassams landed south of town and no injuries or damage were reported. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack, asserting that "the Israeli army would never stop home-made Palestinian rockets even if it unleashed a wide offensive against the Gaza Strip".

Almost immediately, Israeli forces attacked the spot from where the rockets had been launched. Newsagencies are reporting that Palestinian sources variously say a civilian was injured or killed by the Israeli air strike. The Palestinians, at the same time, say the Islamic Jihadists escaped unharmed.

But the IDF - which normally takes considerable care with its pronouncements - says its counter-attack was successful and the cell members responsible for firing the Qassam and the rocket launcher they operated were eliminated. But as this Reuters picture (above) exemplifies, the Pal-Arab regime has little problem in programming replacements. (This child was snapped at another in an endless series of Hamas rallies in Gaza, this one on Friday, holding a toy gun. The image embodies more eloquently than any blog could the moral sickness at the heart of the Pal-Arab thugocracy.)

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.
