1-Sep-12: 10 pm rocket attack on southern Israel

In the Ashkelon area on Israel's south Mediterranean coast, the missile sirens have been sounding since about 10 this evening (it's now 10:15pm, Saturday night). A Hebrew online forum contributor [source] says there were two crash/explosions, both in the industrial zone of the city, and as far as we can tell, no serious damage and no injuries. But the intention of the rocket men of Gaza, well-equipped and highly motivated, was and is to keep firing their rockets in the general direction of anything Israel so as to strike something and cause pain and damage. Anyone visiting our blog knows the number of such indiscriminate firings since Hamas took over in 2006 and imposed an iron-fist regime over Gaza, is in the thousands. Firing explosive rockets and mortars at Israel is explicitly approved by the thuggish Hamas regime, designated globally as an outlawed terrorist regime [source]. The designation and the criticism actually do nothing to stop the rockets - that's a mission that the IDF owns and only the IDF takes measures, regularly, to curb and repel the deaths, destruction and mayhem that the terrorists of Gaza so desperately wish upon us.

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.
