10-May-10: Raining Gazan rockets again

More Qassam rockets fired from jihadist Gaza landed near the Israeli city of Ashkelon on Saturday night. Israeli aircraft late last night (Sunday) destroyed several Gazan tunnels in the Rafah area where Gaza borders on Egypt - no injuries to Gazans. The timing of the Gazan rockets is likely connected with the start of indirect discussions between Israel and the Abbas-controlled Palestinian Authority, being conducted as from yesterday via US mediators. Hamas, the terrorist regime that controls everything inside Gaza, is opposed to those discussions and has publicly warned against them. The Israeli army is quoted in the past hour saying Israel "holds Hamas solely responsible for what goes on in Gaza...[and] will not tolerate any attempt to harm the citizens of the State of Israel and will continue to operate against those who use terror." Some 50 terrorist rockets have been fired into civilian areas of Israel since the beginning of 2010.

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.
