This is raw (uncommented) video from the Ashkelon mall terror rocket attack. This comes from Israel's Channel 10 (cable news):
At least 14 people were wounded Wednesday evening, including a mother and her three-year-old daughter, when a Grad rocket fired from Gaza hit the Hutzot Shopping Center in Ashkelon.
The rocket ripped through the roof of the mall, causing a large chunk of the roof to collapse in a huge pile of rubble and twisted metal. Four windows were blown out of the side of the building. The floor of the building, which bore the brunt of the attack, is where offices and clinics are located.
A hospital official said a woman and her young daughter were seriously wounded, along with another child. Another woman was seriously wounded, and several other people were slightly wounded, said the official, Leah Malul of Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon.
MDA said 14 people were wounded - three seriously, two moderately and nine slightly, adding that all the casualties had been evacuated from the site of the attack, including four people who were briefly trapped under the rubble.
Thank G-d no one was killed! That's still no excuse for the Israeli government's passivity in the face of evil. That capos who helped the Germans in the death camps were themselves under threat of death. Israel is a sovereign state under no such compulsion. Maybe its just me but I don't think a peace process of any kind is worth jeopardizing a single Jewish life!
The passivity of your Government in the face of attacks is amazing and disgusting. It's one thing to move to a country surrounded by enemies. It's quite another to move to a country surrounded by enemies with a government which doesn't defend its citizens.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

Shocking! When will the IDF be unleashed and finally destroy Gaza?
