10-Nov-12: 11:45 pm update on the rocket fire in the south

From the Bethlehem-based Maan News:

The terrorists of Islamic Jihad are claiming 13 rockets fired in the general direction (they write "towards" the Israeli southern coastal city of Ashkelon.
Their rival, the PFLP, claims three of its rockets were fired "into" the western Negev.
The so-called Al-Mujahideen brigades (which presumably means the Mujahideen Shura Council of Jerusalem, a terrorist group that claims to be affiliated with Al-Qaeda) is claiming responsibility for 2 rockets, undisclosed destinations.
The Popular Resistance Committee (probably refers to this group) said its people had fired four rockets at Israeli communities close to the Gaza border and at Sderot and Netivot.

Clearly, there is a need for these thugs to be perceived as taking an active role in tonight's pot-shot warfare directed at civilian targets inside Israel.

Around 11:00 pm tonight, three Gazan Palestinian Arab rockets crashed into Israel's Eshkol region. Ynet says this brings tonight's rocket count to 27.

In the midst of tonight's drama, two Palestinian Arabs are reported [Ynet] to have been picked up by IDF forces trying to enter Israel illegally. They were unarmed. Note that despite the rocket fire all around, these two intruders remain alive after their encounter with the Zionist enemy.

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.
