26-Sep-10: Another drive-by shooting attack tonight: Israeli couple shot

In the third such point-blank drive-by shooting in a single month, a woman in the ninth month of her pregnancy was wounded tonight by gun fire around 8.30pm. She was riding in a car driven by her husband (who was also shot) and the shooters were Palestinian Arab terrorists in another car. While none of the myriad so-called factions has taken credit yet, it's bound to be only a matter of time before one or another of them does. Hamas, the terrorist organization that rules Gaza with an iron fist, claimed credit for each of the two earlier attacks on Israeli civilians in their vehicles.

The location of tonight's terror attack was Highway 60 at Omarim Junction, in the Mount Hebron area. The couple, Neta Zucker and her husband Sharon, live in the nearby community of Tene Omarim, located just north of Meitar, a Beer Sheba suburb. Ynet says Neta is now in the operating room having a Caesarian section to deliver her baby.

Numerous rock-throwing attacks on Israeli vehicles were reported today (Sunday) in the Hebron sector. There's a general sense that we're going to see more 'heroic' actions like tonight's from Palestinian Arab gunmen in the coming weeks and months.

UPDATE Monday morning: We're very happy to report that the wounded mother gave birth last night to a healthy son.

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.

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.
