10-Mar-12: The terrorists of Gaza manage to fire more than 100 rockets at southern Israel in a single 24 hour period

The rocket fire from Gaza that we reported (and almost no news channels outside Israel did) on Friday produced a pinpoint Israeli strike on several terrorists, identified by name in the Palestinian Arab media, later on Friday afternoon.

There then followed an onslaught of rockets from the vast arsenal held in Hamas-controlled Gaza that has continued until the last few hours. The details are important (if we want to understand the nature of terrorist-instigated warfare, that is) and since the Sabbath has just ended, we need some time to compile it. So please stay tuned. The IDF's incoming-rocket count up until an hour ago (7:30 pm Israel time) was 135.

While we prepare a report, we want to remind you of one aspect of what we wrote yesterday about the absence of news report attention when it's Israelis being pounded: "On the other hand, if and when Israel's military decides to strike back at the storage facilities that hold the thousands of Gazan Palestinian Arab missiles, watch how the news and photo editors spring to life."

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.
