24-Dec-15: Thursday noon vehicle ramming at Adam Junction

When the weather is pleasant, the terrorists crawl out of their holes. We're seeing that now.

It's a delightful early winter afternoon here, and we're reporting the third terror attack of the day so far.

One person was injured lightly around 11:45 this morning (Thursday) when a driver, evidently a Palestinian Arab, steered his white Hyundai van into a cluster of IDF soldiers and Border Guard police at Adam Junction on Jerusalem's northern edge. The busy intersection (where Routes 57 and 90 meet) has seen numerous Arab-on-Israeli attacks in the past three months.

In accordance with current IDF guidelines, the security personnel opened fire and the attacker was shot and killed at the scene, according to an IDF statement quoted by Times of Israel. From social media sources, we hear he - like several other attackers in the past 48 hours - is a resident of Qalandiya. Ma'an News Agency says his name is Wisam Abu Ghwaila, 22.

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.
