A few days ago, an unexpected shooting took place in the south of Israel. Two rockets were fired from Egyptian territory (Sinai) towards Eilat, our most southern town, which is a port next to the Red Sea. Luckily both rockets missed their mark, one fell near the Jordanian town Akaba nearby, and one into the sea. So far no one knows who did the shooting, but it is presumed to have been done either by Beduin Arabs or by some terrorist group who infiltrated into Sinai from the Gaza Strip, but that is not for sure - could be any anti-Israel group. This is the first time such an incident has happened in this area and I sure hope it won’t occur again. I wonder if this was mentioned in the foreign press.

 

Although I have mentioned our kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit a number of times in my blogs, the terrible way he is surely treated and not allowed any visits, even by the Red Cross after over 3 years, today I must write about him again. The Hamas terrorist organisation holding him have made another film about him, this time a three minute animated cartoon film. It shows his father, Noam Shalit, growing older, and then being told his son will be returned. So then we see his father, waiting to receive him, when a hearse appears and Gilad’s coffin it downloaded. What  a great sense of humour!!! What would they say and do if it were the other way round? And where are all those “do-gooders” in the world? They have nothing to say?
