16-Dec-17: Friday night Arab-on-Israeli Gazan rocket crashes into Gazan home

More Arab-on-Israel rocket attacks this past Friday night (we were busy with the Jewish Sabbath) from the rocket-infested, Hamas-run Gaza Strip.

Ynet ["Rocket fired from Gaza hits home in Gaza", December 15, 2017] reports

A rocket fired from Gaza into Israel Friday hit a residential building in Beit Hanoun in the strip and caused it considerable damage, according to the Arabic-language Facebook page of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories. "Once again, the terrorist organizations launch rockets at the residents of Gaza themselves," the post said. This is the second time in a week that a rocket fired by Palestinians hits a building in the northeast Gaza city. In the previous incident, a public school classroom was completely demolished.

Times of Israel ["IDF: Gaza rocket fired at Israel falls short, strikes house in Strip", December 15, 2017], quoting a Hadashot report, says the damaged home belongs to the brother of a senior Hamas official, Mushir al-Masri.

This Al-Masri has scored several mentions in our blog. He was one of the Hamas men ignominiously roused from their sleep by police and promptly thrown out of an Eastern European country a few years back [see "15-Feb-13: Gnashing of teeth in Gaza as its reps are roused from bed and thrown out of Bulgaria"]. He was Hamas spokes-thug in relation to another terrorist-prisoner deal in 2014 [here], and again in 2015 [here].

It's worth pointing out again that yet another Arab-on-Israeli rocket attack resulting in damage (and perhaps worse) to Palestinian Arabs in Gaza - what we call Fell Shorts - has gone entirely unreported in the non-Israeli media. (And if we're wrong, please correct us.) We have reported on dozens of them in the past few years - check here.

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.
