23-Apr-14: Terrorist rocket fire from Gaza is renewed this evening

Israel National News and other sources are reporting that two Gazan rockets were fired this evening (Wednesday) in Israel's general direction, triggering Color Red/Tzeva Adom sirens in Sderot, Hof Ashkelon, Yad Mordechai, Gevim and other southern Israel locations. One appears to have exploded inside Israel, location as yet undisclosed. The second is evidently yet another fell short.

We are hearing of additional rocket attacks in other parts of the same area, and in the Shaar Hanegev region (population about 6,000) all between about 18:45 and 19:00 this evening. Walla, a Hebrew-language news channel, says at least two Gazan rockets exploded inside Gaza with (as usual) unknown consequences.

The IDF says one of the incoming rockets crashed into the Erez Crossing compound that includes a pedestrian and cargo terminal and is located in the northern end of the Gaza Strip on the border with Israel.

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.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
