21-Jan-12: Far from the headlines, yet more rockets fired into Israel

The terrorist rockets keep coming.

On Friday night, a great time to injure Israeli civilians in their homes, another Qassam rocket was fired from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip into southern Israel. This one landed and exploded in an open area of the Negev Desert. There are no reports of human injury or property damage.

Early Saturday morning, three mortars were fired from Gaza in the general direction of the Eshkol region (also in the Negev). These fortunately did not injure people or damage property either. But that's four incoming lethal shots in a few hours, and terrifying for the innocent civilians living in the target area.

Later this morning (Saturday), the IDF is reported to have spotted a unit of terrorists in Gaza a matter of seconds after they directed their fire into Israel. An IAF helicopter shot at the terrorists, achieving a direct hit. (The Palestinian Ma'an newsagency says the Israeli fire missed.)

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.
