Hamas Asks Egypt to Help Save "Mother of Martyrs"

Miriam was Moses' sister. The Torah states:

"And the King of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one was Shifrah and the name of the second was Puah." (Exodus 1:15)

Who was Shifrah and who was Puah? What do we learn from their names? Rabbi Zelig Pliskin teaches:

Rashi, the 13th century French commentator, informs us that Shifrah was a second name for Yocheved, Mose's mother. She was called Shifrah (from the Hebrew root "L'shahper" - to make better) because she did things for the betterment of the infants in her care.

Puah was another name for Miriam, Mose's sister. She was called Puah because of the comforting sounds ("poo poo") she would make to the infants as mothers do to calm a crying baby.

Yocheved and Miriam have a special place in the Torah as Shifrah and Puah because of their compassion for babies.

When you experience love and compassion for others, you are emulating the attributes of the Almighty. The greater your act of kindness, the more elevated you become. An infant or young child who experiences warmth and love grows up to be a more loving person. This early conditioning will have life-long positive effects. Such a child will find it much easier to feel love for the Almighty and love for his fellow man. Whenever you make a young child feel good, be aware of the extent of your kindness. The deeper your appreciation for the kindness you are doing, the more elevated you become.

In the following article, it is a repugnant thought that this Muslim she-beast who hatched three Muslim mass murderers of Jewish innocents, bears the name of our great Jewish Biblical prophet. The irony is revolting. From Hamas Asks Egypt to Help Save "Mother of Martyrs":

Miriam Farhat, the Palestinian mother whose praise for her three dead sons earned her the title "Mother of Martyrs," was reported Thursday to be in critical condition after suffering a massive heart attack.

Farhat's son Muhammad killed five teenagers and wounded 23 people at Atzmona in a 2002 attack. After the death of her first son, Farhat admitted in interviews with Arab media that she encouraged her other sons to follow in his footsteps and become martyrs: "I encouraged all my sons to die a martyr's death." She said she wished she had 100 sons to sacrifice that way.

Farhat, 59, was elected as a Hamas parliamentary representative in 2006. Hamas seized the opportunity of her illness to exert pressure on the Egyptians to reopen the Rafah border crossing so that she could be transferred to an Egyptian hospital. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum accused PA leader Mahmoud Abbas and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak of "participating in the siege on Gaza."

"The Mother of Martyrs is dying and the Arab world does not seem to care," said a Hamas representative.

Another Bulldozer Attack by A Muzbot in Jerusalem: 23 Innocents Wounded

For the second time in three weeks, a Muslim Arab commandeered a bulldozer to commit a terrorist attack in Jerusalem to kill innocent Jews even though Israel, the land Jews live on, was bought and paid for legally and with the imprimatur of the United Nations.



Via INN:

The Muslim wounded several people before being shot and killed.

The Muslim began his attempt to murder Jews on King David St. near the Yemin Moshe neighborhood. He took a tractor from a construction site, and began plowing into vehicles along the street, hitting at least three cars - one of which he completely overturned - and a bus. One driver was able to escape from his car even though the tractor plowed it into a bus stop. When the terrorist reached the intersection of Keren HaYesod St., a citizen and Border Guard policeman shot and killed him. The entire incident was over very quickly, eyewitnesses said.

Of the 23 injured, one is reported in moderate condition - apparently with an amputated leg - and the others have light injuries or are suffering from trauma. Among them are a woman and her nine-month-old baby son.

The dead tractor murderer was a Muslim Israeli citizen, living in Um Tuba, a south-eastern Jerusalem Arab neighborhood not far from Sur Baher. His name was publicized over the radio, and minutes later, a gag order prohibiting it from being disseminated was publicized - apparently because of his family connections with a an orange-bearded Hamas legislator who has been jailed for involvement in terrorism.

Samir Kuntar, a typical arab stain on humanity

A small word of advice for Samir Kuntar. Ask your comrades in the PLO and Hizbullah what was the ultimate fate of various killers of Israelis and Jews years after they thought their actions were forgotten.

For example, what happened to the killers of Israel's athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics and their masterminds?

The last of them died in unnatural circumstances 24 years after that horrific massacre.

So learn from the past and draw your conclusions, Samir Kuntar. It would be in your best interests to learn to sleep with one eye open, you filthy nazi Arab rat, for even though you may learn how to do sleep, it will not save you as everyone knows you will not live long enough to tell the story to your grandchildren of how you bashed in the brains of a 4 year old Jewish child with your rifle butt in front of the child's father. Via JPost:

Samir Kuntar, a Lebanese Druse, was sentenced to four life sentences in 1979 for the deaths of Danny Haran, 28, his two daughters and a policeman in Nahariya.

A member of the Palestine Liberation Front, Kuntar and four others sailed 10 kilometers under the cover of night from south Lebanon to Nahariya in a 55-horse-power rubber boat. The mission, led by Kuntar and titled the Nasser Operation, brought the terrorists to the Nahariya coast around midnight on April 22, 1979.

The group murdered police officer Eliahu Shahar after he stumbled upon the gang. The men then entered an apartment building at Rehov Jabotinski 61 and broke into the Haran family's apartment, taking them hostage.

Kuntar's gang took Danny and four-year-old Einat Haran hostage as police reinforcements arrived on the scene.

Haran's wife, Smadar, hid with her two-year-old daughter Yael in a crawl space above the couple's bedroom. Smadar tried to muffle the girl's cries, and accidentally smothered her.

As officers arrived at the building, the terrorists pulled Danny and Einat out of the apartment building and down to the beach, where a shootout with police and soldiers ensued.

Kuntar shot Danny Haran at close-range and threw his body into the sea to make sure he died. He then bashed 4 year old Einat's head on rocks and with butt of his rifle, killing her instantly.

Two terrorists were killed by police during the shootout, while Kuntar and Ahmed al-Abrass were captured.

Abrass was released in May 1985 during the Ahmed Jibril prisoner exchange, while Kuntar remained in prison.

In a 2003 article in The Washington Post, Smadar Haran recalled her final moments with Danny.

"I will never forget the joy and the hatred in [the terrorists'] voices as they swaggered about hunting for us, firing their guns and throwing grenades," Haran wrote. "As I lay there, I remembered my mother telling me how she had hidden from the Nazis during the Holocaust. 'This is just like what happened to my mother,' I thought."

Kuntar has openly expressed pride about the killings over the years.

He hails from the Lebanese mountain village of Aabey and has been in Israeli prison longer than any other Lebanese.

Many say Hizbullah kidnapped IDF reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser in 2006 to use them as bargaining tools to force Kuntar's release.

Kuntar got married while in prison and he receives conjugal visits from his wife.

His release has been brought up before in negotiations with Hizbullah head Hassan Nasrallah. In 2006, he was offered as part of a failed deal to free Goldwasser and Regev.

Two years earlier, Hizbullah demanded Kuntar's release a part of the Elhannan Tannenbaum prisoner deal that sent 435 Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners back home.

Nasrallah Will Not Die a Natural Death

From Nasrallah Will Not Die a Natural Death:

MK Yisrael Hasson, who was also a former Shin Bet assistant director, said: "None of them will be absolved. Whoever bathed in Jewish blood, whoever attacked the honor and independence of the State of Israel, will not be able to tell their grandchildren anything, because they will never get to that stage."

"I have no doubt that Nasrallah will not die a natural death. The State of Israel will settle its accounts with him. He knows that better than we do."

A Word of Advice for Samir Kuntar and other Muslim murderers

From A Word of Advice for Samir Kuntar:

A small word of advice for Samir Kuntar. Ask your comrades in the PLO and Hizbullah what was the ultimate fate of various killers of Israelis and Jews years after they thought their actions were forgotten.

For example, what happened to the killers of Israel's athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics and their masterminds?

The last of them died in unnatural circumstances 24 years after that horrific massacre.

So learn from the past and draw your conclusions.

Who is Samir Kuntar?

He's a Muslim killer of Jewish children - and he will soon be walking the streets, breathing, eating, and lusting after his next Jewicide victim. Via Palestinian Media Watch:

Samir Kuntar is the Lebanese terrorist serving four life sentences in an Israeli jail for murdering a four-year-old Israeli girl, Eynat Haran. He crushed her head with his rifle butt after murdering her father, Dani, and two policemen. Eynat's two-year-old sister, Yael, also died in the terror attack. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah announced last week that Israel had agreed to release Kuntar in exchange for Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev (or their remains), the IDF reservists kidnapped in July 2006. Media reports indicate that such a deal is imminent.The Kuntar letter:

After the killing of international terrorist Imad Mughniyeh in Syria three months ago, Kuntar wrote a letter to Nasrallah in which he glorified terrorists and martyrdom, and vowed to continue in the path of terror "until complete victory." The following is the text of the Kuntar letter:

My dear and honored commander and leader, The Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah,

Peace be unto you and our Shahids, and may Allah's mercy and blessing be upon you.

Peace be unto the men in the convoys of the righteous.

Peace be unto he who has [given and has] not taken anything other than the Shahadah (Martyrdom), the highest rank of honor before Allah.

Peace be unto the distinguished, glamorous convoys [of Shahids] who travel toward eternity, toward the men of glory, dignity and pride, toward those who have marked our path for hundreds of years.

Peace be unto the last to leave, the Hajj and leader, Imad Mughniyeh.

Peace be unto him, as he passes the message on to those who await his arrival, as he brings them stories of the glory and victories, news of steadfastness and loyalty of the men of the fulfilled promise [a reference to the operation in which the two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped which was called the 'Fulfilling the Promise',] news of "those who still wait [for Shahadah]; but they have never changed (their determination for Shahada)." [Quote from Quran, Sura 33:23.]

Peace be unto him, as he announces to the most honored among the Believers [previous Shahids] that the waiting convoys have chosen [they await the Shahadah] to draw their swords, and their swords are calling out: "We are far from degradation" [a Nasrallah's phrase].

May peace be unto you, Hajj Imad. My oath and pledge is that my place will be at the battlefront, which is soaked in the sweat of your giving, and the blood of the most beloved among men [Shahids], and that I shall continue down the path, until complete victory.

I give to you, Sir Abu Hadi [name for Hassan Nasrallah] and to all the Jihad Figthers, my congratulations and [my] renewed loyalty.

[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, February 19, 2008]

Palestinian Suicide Bomber Blows Up Truck at Gaza Crossing; No Israeli Casualties

Palestinians doing what they do best. Via Palestinian Suicide Bomber Blows Up Truck at Gaza Crossing; No Israeli Casualties:

A Palestinian truck bomber attacked the Erez crossing between Gaza and Israel Thursday morning, Hamas said. Army Radio reported that there were no Israeli injuries in the explosion. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack in cooperation with the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. Troops prevented the truck from getting close to the crossing by firing at it before it exploded.

U.S. Welcomes Death of Hizbullah Commander

From U.S. Welcomes Death of Hizbullah Commander:

The U.S. on Wednesday applauded the killing of Hizbullah leader Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus. "The world is a better place without this man in it. He was a cold-blooded killer, a mass murderer and a terrorist responsible for countless innocent lives lost," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack. "One way or another he was brought to justice." White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said: "This was an individual indicted in U.S. courts. He was clearly a bad actor."

Who is George Habash?

George Habash was a palestinian who enjoyed murdering Jews. And now, at last, he's dead. From Terrorism's Christian Godfather: George Habash Dies :

You could call George Habash, a Palestinian leader who died in Amman on Saturday at the age of 82, the godfather of Middle East terrorism.

Habash's group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), pioneered the hijacking of airplanes as a Middle East terror tactic - one eventually employed by the al-Qaeda hijackers on 9/11 - way back in 1968 when three PFLP armed operatives commandeered an Israeli El Al airliner enroute from Rome to Tel Aviv. Checking in for a flight has never been the same since.

In 1970, PFLP terrorists hijacked four airliners at one time, flew three of them to Jordan, blew them up, and triggered the Black September civil war between Jordan's Hashemite monarchy and Palestinians.

In 1972, Japanese Red Army terrorists working with the PFLP massacred 24 people at Israel's international airport.

In 1976, the PFLP's last hijacking ended in the daring rescue by Israeli counter-terrorism commandos in Entebbe, Uganda.

Habash succeeded in raising awareness of the Palestinian cause, yet his extreme, vengeful methods also helped drench it in blood, and likely brought Palestinians no closer to freedom and dignity.

Rot in hell, pathogen.

Nasrallah: Hizbullah Has Bodies of Abducted IDF Troops

The worst news that could come out of the Palestinian Arab Muslim swamp. From Nasrallah: Hizbullah Has Bodies of Abducted IDF Troops:

Hizbullah has in its possession the bodies of abducted Israel Defense Forces soldiers and has attempted to use them as part of prisoner swap negotiations, the group's leader Hassan Nasrallah said Wednesday. IDF soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev were abducted by Hizbullah militants in a cross-border raid into Israel that sparked the Second Lebanon War in 2006.

Pakistani Opposition Leader Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto Assassinated

Once again, we have more evidence of what Muslims do best - killing and maiming others. Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto , 54, was shot in the neck and chest at a campaign rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, Thursday afternoon. A Muslim homicide bomber then blew himself up, killing at least 20 others. The death of the former prime minister threw the campaign for the Jan. 8 parliamentary elections into chaos and created fears of mass protests and violence across Pakistan, an important U.S. ally in the war on terrorism. Musharraf blamed terrorists for Bhutto's death and said he would redouble his efforts to fight them.

I'm sure Musharraf is not losing any sleep over her murder.

The Muslim attacker struck just minutes after Bhutto addressed thousands of supporters in the city of Rawalpindi, 8 miles south of Islamabad. She was shot in the neck and chest by the attacker, who then blew himself up, said Rehman Malik, Bhutto's security adviser.

While al Qaeda is considered by the U.S. to be a likely suspect in the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Banazir Bhutto, U.S. intelligence officials say they cannot confirm an initial claim of responsibility for the attack, supposedly from an al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan.

An obscure Italian Web site said Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, al Qaeda's commander in Afghanistan, told its reporter in a phone call, "We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat [the] mujahedeen."

It said the decision to assassinate Bhutto was made by al Qaeda's No. 2 leader, Ayman al Zawahri in October.

Another Day, Another Palestinian Bombardment of Israel

Where's the international outrage? Where're those two pimps for palestinians, Charles Enderlin and France 2's News Director, Arlette Chabot? Aren't Jewish lives worth saving, you effing pimp bastards? From Another Day, Another Palestinian Bombardment of Israel:

The small Israeli town of Sderot is enveloping itself in a blanket of concrete. Schools and nurseries crouch below hulking canopies, dozens of bomb-shelters dot the urban landscape and even the bulletproof windows of one school have been provided with thick overhanging slabs. The town's open-air bus stops are being replaced with concrete cubicles. The profusion of concrete is a determined, but ultimately futile, attempt to shield Sderot's 20,000 citizens from the Kassam rockets that are fired into the town every day by Palestinian militants from Gaza.

"It's like Russian roulette. If it's your day you are finished," says Tiger Avraham, the head of the local paramedic team. "Children don't go outside and you cannot walk far from home. It's hard to live like this."

Israel's military planners are tormented by the thought of a rocket blowing up a Sderot school bus or inflicting a large number of civilian deaths through a direct hit.

Another Israeli Jew murdered by Muslims

Palestinian muzbots doing what they do best - killing Jews. This is Israel's reward for sitting down and negotiating with Muslim barbarians (sorry for the oxymoron) who have not evolved since the 7th century. Where's the international outrage? Via Ynet:

Ido Zoldan, 29 and a father of two, was murdered in a Muslim terrorist shooting attack in Samaria around 11:00 pm Monday night.

Palestinian Authority Muslim terrorists fired on the man as he drove past the village of Funduk, near Kedumim. Paramedics who arrived at the scene were unable to save his life.

Zoldan, of Shavei Shomron, will be buried on Tuesday at 1:00 PM in Kedumim. He is survived by his wife Tehila and his two small children, three-year-old Aharon and one-year-old Rachel. The family moved to Shavei Shomron after they were displaced from Homesh in the Disengagement of 2005.

According to initial information, a Muslim terrorist cell was waiting in ambush in the area for Israeli vehicles. When Ido, who was riding alone, came into range, the enemy attackers sprayed the vehicle with gunfire. The driver was critically injured, with multiple gunshot wounds, and he apparently died within minutes.

The Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said it carried out the attack to demonstrate its opposition to the planned Annapolis conference. IDF officials have warned that terrorists will increase their efforts to harm Israelis during the days leading up to the meeting. The conference will be held at some point in the next 30 days, which, according to recent reports, could mean as early as next week.

After his expulsion from Homesh, Ido Zoldan became one of the core leaders of the Homesh First movement, which seeks to reestablish a Jewish presence in the Samaria town.

The terror victim's father, Nachman Zoldan, is among the leading building contractors in Judea and Samaria. Ido had joined his father in the Kedumim 3000 Company, which has been responsible for construction projects throughout Jude, Samaria and Gaza. According to a relative of the family, Amatzia Haeitan, the Zoldan family "builds for the sake of ideology and in order to build up the Land of Israel." Haeitan said that the younger Zoldan had introduced the idea of seeking out Jewish labor for work on the company's construction sites.

"He lived this land and the people of Israel," Haeitan added, "and he was always happy."

On Monday night, the Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza (Yesha) called the killing Israel's "reward" for agreeing earlier in the day to release 441 more Arab terrorists from prison.

Hold Iran Accountable

From Hold Iran Accountable:

On Oct. 23, 1983, the government of Iran sent a truck bomb into the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 men and wounding countless others. It was mass murder. For 24 years, since that horrible day, that horrible moment, the government of Iran has literally been getting away with murder. In May 2003, a U.S. district court found the government of Iran liable for organizing and funding the Beirut attack.

Lynn Smith Derbyshire's brother, Marine Capt. Vincent Smith, was killed in the 1983 Beirut bombing. Judith C. Young is the mother of Marine Sgt. Jeffrey Young, who was killed in the Beirut bombing.

Perfidy

Via The Jewish Press Blog:

On December 8, 1983, a child named Dani Katz walked to the street outside his parent's home in the Dania neighborhood of Haifa. He was 14. His parents were Holocaust survivors.

Outside the home, he was kidnapped by a group of Arabs from the Israeli Galilee town of Sakhnin who held jobs in the Dania neighborhood. They took him to a cave near Sakhnin. There they tortured him in the most brutal and horrific way imaginable. They eventually murdered him. After murdering him they sodomized the corpse. They then left him there to rot.

Police unraveled the crime and arrested the five murderers, who confessed and reenacted the crimes.

The lawyer for the accused was far-leftist Avigdor Feldman. Feldman has devoted much of his career to defending terrorists, extremists and traitors. He defended Mordecai Vanunu (nuclear spy), Marcus Klinberg (Soviet spy), Tali Fahima (who did jail time for helping her Palestinian terrorist boyfriend plan atrocities), Teddy Katz (Ilan Pappe's student who fabricated the Tantura massacre), and others.

Some Israeli leftist groups have been rallying support ever since for the murderers (see for example in Hebrew only: here; also anti-Zionist journalist Tom Segev's comments: here)

In 1982 a female soldier named Dafna Carmon was raped and murdered outside her home Two of the murderers of Dani Katz were also convicted of murdering her. They were also represented in that trial by Feldman.

Some Arab Knesset members had been lobbying for the release of the murderers. The "appeals commission" of the Justice Ministry recently recommended that the five murderers have their sentences "shortened." Shimon Peres as President made it official, which means that they will be released from prison within the next few days.

More background on this atrocity: here and here.

Muslims Silence Critics

In an update on the murder of Chauncy Bailey, bakery employee Devaughndre Broussard admitted to murdering him. Bailey was writing a series of investigative articles about the Bakery – and that’s why, according to police, Broussard killed him. Your Black Muslim Bakery is an outpost of the Nation of Islam, not of any orthodox Islamic sect, but in this murder Devaughndre Broussard has followed a pattern that some orthodox Muslims have also followed. Violent reprisal has long been an occupational hazard of those who dare to question or investigate Islamic groups or criticize Islamic practices. Filmmaker Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered in November 2004 by a Muslim who took exception to his criticism of the oppression of women in Islamic societies. In 1947, the Iranian lawyer Ahmad Kasravi was murdered in court by Islamic jihadists; Kasravi was there to defend himself against charges that he had attacked Islam.

Palestinian Terrorists Planned to Blow Up Synagogue, Kidnap U.S. Citizens

From Palestinian Terrorists Planned to Blow Up Synagogue, Kidnap U.S. Citizens:

The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) uncovered a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) cell that had planned a series of attacks, including bombing a Modi'in synagogue and kidnapping U.S. citizens in the West Bank, according to information made public Tuesday. PFLP member Ramzi Sharona, who had been illegally working as a laborer in Modi'in, said he intended to plant an explosive device in a nearby synagogue, blow it up, and then flee to Ramallah. In addition, the cell was planning to kidnap U.S. civilians in order to swap them for jailed PFLP leader Ahmed Sa'adat, shoot motorists on a Modi'in road, and attack Israel Defense Forces soldiers in Hebron.

Hamas bans masks for Gaza gunmen

In one way, it is a good thing that Hamas has taken over Gaza completely because now people will see that there is no pretense of the palestinians being a civilized poeple. They elected Hamas, they got what they wanted, and now the hold world will be able to see clearly that they are nothing but a bunch of criminals and terrorists. There is no pretense to civility anymore. There is no semblance of them being a civilized people. They are murderers bent on the destruction of Israel. From Hamas bans masks for Gaza gunmen:

In their first order since seizing control of the Gaza Strip, Hamas Islamists banned gunmen from wearing masks - unless they are shooting at Israel.

The masks have become commonplace in the Gaza Strip during weeks of factional fighting between the ruling Hamas movement and President Mahmoud Abbas's secular Fatah faction.

Both sides wore the masks to hide their identities.

“A decision was taken last night to prevent (people from wearing) masks,” Khaled Abu Hilal, a spokesman for the Hamas-controlled Interior Ministry, said.

Hamas made one exception, for militants carrying out cross-border attacks on Israel.

“Wearing masks should only be near the borders and in fighting the Zionist enemy, not in the streets and near people's homes,” Abu Hilal said.

It's good that the palestinian serial killers will be wearing masks when they attempt to murder Jews; it will make it easier for the IDF to identify them, then blow them away. It will eliminate any Friend or Foe issues completely.

Palestinian terrorist leader arrested having car sex near Arafat's grave

Israel today arrested a longtime wanted terror leader here in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
According to Israeli security officials and Palestinian sources in Ramallah speaking to WND, the terrorist was arrested while having car sex just a few hundred feet from late PLO leader Yasser Arafat's gravesite.

Khaled Shawish was captured by undercover Israeli police forces following scores of shooting attacks he is suspected of carrying out. Shawish, who doubles as the Ramallah chief of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, previously boasted of involvement in a West Bank shooting attack in December 2000 that killed Israeli ultranationalist leader Benjamin Kahane and Kahane's wife, Talya, and seriously wounded their five daughters.

According to Israeli security officials and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades sources in Ramallah, Shawish was arrested after the Israeli police stormed his jeep, which was parked in a lot outside the Muqata, about 200 feet from Arafat's grave. The sources said at the time of his arrest, Shawish was having intercourse in the back seat of his jeep with a Palestinian woman, whose identity is being withheld by WND. The woman was not his wife.

The Fatah-linked murderer was responsible for the deaths of eighteen other people and the wounding of dozens in numerous attacks, including several in and around Jerusalem. Among the attacks orchestrated by Shawish were:

- a 2002 suicide bombing on King George Street in Jerusalem
- a 2002 suicide bombing by a female terrorist at a checkpoint just outside Jerusalem
- a shooting attack in the French Hill neighborhood of Jerusalem
