02-Nov-15: An Israeli in his seventies is the latest victim of a Pal Arab with a knife

In Netanya, on Israel's Mediterranean seashore a few miles north of Tel Aviv, there was yet another stabbing attack this evening. First reported as a criminal assault, it's clearer now that this was terrorism. The attacker is said by Times of Israel and

confirmed by police as a 23-year-old Palestinian from the West Bank city of Tulkarem, which lies just ten miles east of Netanya. He was shot by a police officer, reportedly while attempting to flee the scene. He is said to be in critical condition.

The victim of the knifing attack on Tachkemoni Street is an Israeli man in his seventies. His condition is said to be very serious, with substantial loss of blood from from a single stab wound to the back (to no one's surprise). He is undergoing emergency treatment right now at nearby Sanz Medical Center/Laniado Hospital.

This terror attack comes just a couple of hours after the Rishon Lezion stabbing that injured three, including an 80-year-old woman.

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.
