30-Jan-13: AFP says "Israeli air force blew up convoy near Syria/Lebanon border"

From SKY News in the last few minutes (it's now 3:15 pm Wednesday)

Israel Strikes Convoy On Syria-Lebanon Border: Israel has struck a weapons convoy on border of Syria and Lebanon, according to security sources. Israeli jets carried out the strike overnight on the convoy which was said to be coming from Syria, and was in the area of the Lebanon-Syria border. An unnamed secuity source told the AFP news wire: "The Israeli air force blew up a convoy which had just crossed the border from Syria into Lebanon." The source did not give a precise location for the attack or saying what the convoy was carrying. An Israeli military spokeswoman declined to comment on the report.

Meanwhile the Lebanese say they know nothing about any of this. The Daily Star published in Beirut, posted a report an hour ago (2:45 pm Wednesday) saying

"Lebanese security sources denied knowledge Wednesday of an Israeli strike on Lebanese territory after reports said Israeli jets hits targets on the border with Syria. Lebanese Army sources told The Daily Star that there was no such activity inside Lebanon, although the military has registered increased violations of Lebanese airspace by Israeli jets since Friday of last week. In a statement, the Army said four Israeli warplanes violated Lebanon’s airspace at 2 a.m. Wednesday and conducted aerial maneuvers above various Lebanese areas for approximately six hours. The military also said that it registered two violations on separate occasions on Tuesday by eight Israeli warplanes."

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.
