Oron as the soldier taken during Operation Protective Edge. Israel says they have his dead body, Hamas says they have his living body. The group gathered to commereate Oron. Hamas interrupted with rocket fire.

“A frustrating picture that symbolizes a fault line:

Zehava Shaul, who lost her son Oron in Sejaya and is fighting for the return of his body, is being taken to the shelter from rockets fired from nearby Gaza during the ceremony for her son.

Despite the lull in the past week, there is no solution for the defense establishment to stop the launches

Near the Gaza border: The reaction of the Jewish Israel to the red alert and sound of rocket

Edited: Hamas announced that the rockets were fired into Israel because of this specific gathering. They were being targeted

A small true story:

Having previously lived in Israel husband taught his then three-year-old daughter to quickly lie on the car floor if rocks were thrown or bullets were fired towards the car as they traveled the public roads. Fast forward to when they return to the US and visited Disney. There was fake gunfire on the amusement ride my husband and his daughter were on. When my husband’s daughter heard the noise she made a noise-dive on the floor of the amusement car.

This my friends is the current reality of living in IsraelUpdated Dec 29, 2017, 2:28 PM

Sorry, guys. I was out of the house when the red alert sounded running a few pre-Shabbat errands with the rest of the nation of Israel. I try to keep errands on Fridays to a minimum because it seems traffic laws are winked at on this day, 60/kph becomes 90kph and even though you’ve increased your speed to 90/kph Someone is sure to pass you like you are standing still. Or if you don’t play by their rules then they play the pre-Shabbat national instrument, the car horn. When you arrive at your destination and get out of the car the elbow-game start. Elbows are employed to maneuver one in front of every other person so that you can play the car-game to get back home again. All that to say I just got home to update on the rocket situation.

Here’s the follow-up:

Three rockets were fired towards Israel. Two were intercepted by the Iron Dome. One struck a target.

Nachal Oz: Building damaged from rocket explosion, no injuries —

The IDF has retaliated by shelling launching points underway.

When the Iron Dome intercepts it’s reported that the repercussions vibrate everything.Updated Dec 29, 2017, 4:51 PM

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkey-mulls-three-phase-roadmap-for-jerusalem-124813Turkey will gear up diplomatic efforts to increase the number of countries recognizing Palestine as a state and to strengthen its economy as part of a three-phase roadmap for its own Islamic Jerusalem bid.

First, Turkey will launch fresh diplomatic initiatives to increase the number of countries that recognize Palestine as a state and East Jerusalem as its capital.

Currently, 137 countries recognize it as a state, and the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) declared East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine.

Second, efforts for the protection of the status of the Haram al-Sharif, the third most sacred holy site in Islam, will be put forth.

Third and most worrisome, financial funds, particularly from the Islamic Development Bank, will be gathered to strengthen the economy of Jerusalem and the Palestinians.
A close cooperation with Jordan will be provided to this end.

This will fund riots, one on one terrorism and rockets.

The Shia Crescent is a land bridge stretching from Tehran through northern Iraq, Syria, and then into Lebanon.

Iran is seizing the opportunity to acquire territory from the fast dwindling Christian communities of the Nineveh Plains whose population was forcibly displaced after the Islamic State’s (IS) attacks.
