A media release issued late today by the Shabak (formally: The Israel Security Agency, or the General Security Service; less formally, the Shin Bet) says terror incidents during the month of May rose over April's numbers:

Overall, 116 attacks in May, compared with 112 in April 2014.
In the roads and communities of Judea and Samaria, located beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines (the cease-fire lines agreed after the invading Arab armies were turned back), 96 compared with April's 80.
Within Jerusalem, there were 11 terror attacks compared with 7 in April.
16 attacks happened in the "Jerusalem Envelope" area (defined as the neighborhoods surrounding Jerusalem, distinct from the city and suburbs of Jerusalem as defined by the Jerusalem municipality), compared with 13 in April.
Most of the attacks in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria took the form of firebombs, commonly known as Molotov Cocktails.

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.
