13-Apr-14: Report of Gazan rocket attacks tonight: explosions heard in Eshkol region

Too soon to have any confirmation, but Hebrew-language online reports from eyewitnesses say rocket attacks were detected around 12:30 tonight (Sunday morning) and multiple explosions have been heard in the Eshkol region of southern Israel.

UPDATE 2:00 am: Times of Israel says no injuries, no serious property damage.

A second round of Tzeva Adom (Color Red) incoming missile alarms was heard in another part of the south (we will leave a more detailed location till there's confirmation) around 12:45 am. Ynet reports that a mortar shell exploded in open fields near the security fence that separates the Gaza Strip from Israel, but it was unclear (said the report) whether the shell fell on the Israeli side or or the Gazan, and it's not clear to us whether this is connected to the reports of Tzeva Adom sirens. We will try to update when there's more to report.

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.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
