15-Nov-12: Gazan terrorists succeed in rocketing a residential building in Kiryat Malachi; three killed

Screen shots from Channel 10's live coverage

Three people were killed and a baby was critically injured Thursday morning after a rocket blasted into a four story building in Kiryat Malachi. As emergency services scrambled to rescue those still trapped inside the shattered structure another five missiles were fired at the town but the Iron Dome system intercepted them before they landed.

The commentators on Israel television are saying the building had no safe room or bomb shelter. The tragic hit is a clear illustration of what might have happened forty additional times in the last 12 hours, were it not for the Iron Dome system knocking incoming missiles out of the air. Forty intercepts so far is what the analysts are quoting at this hour.

Kiryat Malachi is one of dozens of communities under fire by the terrorists at this exact moment. Ashdod has suffered five separate rocket attacks in the past 20 minutes.

War for all practical purposes.

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.

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.
