14-Oct-12: Early Sunday evening missile attacks

From the Gazan side of the border, this report:

14 OCT, 1600hrs: Pal. ops. fired 4 mortar shells from E of Abu Al Ajeen, MA, toward the Green Line.

It's not clear how many of those Palestinian Arab mortars fired in the general direction of Israel ("the Green Line") actually crossed the line, and how many "fell short", killing or injuring the clansfolk of the thugs doing the firing. (Those casualties almost go un-reported.) That was around 4 this afternoon (Sunday). On the Israel side, IDF Spokesperson reported on one incoming missile at about that time, and from an eye-witness online forum, the Tzeva Adom (Color Red) warnings went off in the heavily-battered Eshkol region at that hour.

Now in the last half hour we hear reports of the missile warning system sounding in both Eshkol and Hof Ashkelon regions. Unconfirmed report says a hail of rockets. Stay tuned.

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.
