06-Nov-15: Friday early afternoon | Terror attacks update

The scene outside the Rami Levy supermarket an hour ago

A very wet Friday here, but the weather has not prevented more Palestinian Arab terrorist attacks on Israelis.

There has been a stabbing assault in the Sha'ar Binyamin area on Jerusalem's northern edge. An Arab knife man, who managed to flee, stabbed an Israeli male in his (more or less) forties outside the Rami Levy supermarket branch in the Sha'ar Binyamin Industrial Zone. The injuries are serious: wounds to the upper part of the body. (Please pray for the recovery of Shmu'el Ben Chava.) The attack happened at roughly 1:30 pm this afternoon. IDF forces are currently in pursuit of the terrorist.

Times of Israel reports that minutes before that attack, a Palestinian Arab woman tried to run down a cluster of IDF soldiers at Halhul Junction, near Hebron. (We wrote about another ramming attempt at about the same place yesterday, here.) She failed, and was shot by soldiers. Israel National News reports that she is - startlingly - 72 years old. Other than the attacker herself, no one was hurt. She was taken to a Jerusalem hospital for emergency Zionist medical treatment for the injuries she suffered when being shot.

The Ma'an News Agency, based in Bethlehem, says she died of her injuries at Shaarei Zedek Medical Center. This might be true. It names her as Sarwa al-Sharawi and says her husband, Fouad, "was killed by Israeli forces during the 1st Intifada".

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.
