29-Jul-12: [UPDATED] The terrorists in Gaza haven't gone quiet; they simply failed

After four rocket firings into Israel yesterday [our report] (but the IDF Spokesperson says seven), today has been quiet. Except that in the past half hour, it appears that one of those Gazan "home made rockets" - they're in fact deadly explosive devices manufactured by serious terrorist weapon producers - failed to make it over the Gaza-Israel fence and exploded on the Gazan side [source]. Over on the Israeli side, residents heard a resounding explosion [Hebrew-language source]. It's a virtual certainty that any deaths, injuries or damage to the Palestinian Arabs of Gaza from Gaza-based fire that (excuse the euphemism) dropped short will go unreported by any news media outside of Israel.

UPDATE: It's now 10:30pm Sunday night, and we have an Israeli report [here] of another "dropped short" rocket firing from Gaza that somehow did not manage to cross the border to hit something (anything) Israeli. Media reaction from outside Israel? Obviously, zero.

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.
