15-Feb-12: Southern Israel: Rocket attack tonight

A Gazan rocket was flung into southern Israel in the past hour, crashing and exploding somewhere in the Eshkol region. A posting on the Rotter forum (Hebrew) reported that the Color Red alarm could be heard throughout the area at about 7:10 this evening. Another said it fell into open fields. Ynet reports that so far there are no indications of injuries or damage.

The terrorists have fired thousands of such rockets at Israeli homes, buses, kindergartens, schools, shopping malls, cars, synagogues, farm sheds, factories, pedestrians. They never aim to hit open fields. Anything that is struck, damaged or injured is a victory. They don't care. This is why they are terrorists. This is why everything that can be done to stop them is legitimate and essential if innocent and productive lives (ours) are to be protected.

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.
