4-Aug-14: Terror attacks on Israelis' minds today

Following the terror attack via a construction vehicle this afternoon, there has been a second terror attack in Jerusalem. An IDF soldier, aged 20, was shot by a man riding a motor cycle at about 4:10 this afternoon (Monday). The attack occurred on Hanadiv Street on the edge of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Mt Scopus campus. The gunman fled, according to police, and a search is underway in the Wadi al-Joz neighbourhood of East Jerusalem. The soldier is being treated at Hadassah hospital on Mt Scopus, and is said to be in serious condition.

It's now 6:15 pm Monday evening, and there is a police alert in effect in central Tel Aviv. Walla reports that security forces are searching for a terror suspect in the Nordau/Dizengoff neighbourhood. The photo below is from a Hebrew forum site, and posted at about 18:45 on Monday, showing police on the streets - the report that accompanies it speaks of police going house to house:

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.
