Hello,
In the last few days
the Palestinian murderers from the Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and
Arafat's thugs from Fatah's Al-Aksa brigade have intensified their
deliberate killings of unarmed civilians, including women, children and babies.
Unfortunately, today was one
of the busiest days for the IDF and the Israeli Police.
Israeli TV Channel 1 reports that five Palestinian
attacks took place in the last 12 hours:
1) At 8:45 AM local time, a Palestinian
genocide bomber blew himself inside a crowded civilian bus near
Safed, in the north of Israel, killing 9 and wounding over 50
Israelis.
2) At 11:40 AM, a Palestinian terrorist
deliberately shot and killed two Israeli civilians who were
sitting in their truck in East Jerusalem. An additional 17
people were injured.
3) At noon, three soldiers were hurt by a
roadside bomb that exploded beneath their jeep while they were on
duty in a search-and-seize anti-terrorist sweep in the West Bank
city of Nablus.
4) At 1:40 PM, four Israeli civilians, including
kids, were wounded after Palestinian terrorists opened fire on their
vehicle near the community of Avnei Hefetz.
5) At 3:00 PM, three
soldiers were seriously wounded after a bomb exploded under their
jeep in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
There seems to be a consensus among all
Palestinian terrorists that they should try to kill as many Israelis
as possible as fast as possible - all major Palestinian groups have
been involved in the above attacks.
Thanks for being interested in the
facts,

Shuvel
Dikstein, 9

July 26,
2002 - Shuv'el
Zion Dikstein, 9, of Psagot, was killed in a shooting attack south
of Hebron along with his parents Yosef, 45, and Hannah, 42. Two of
his brothers were injured. The Palestinian murderers destroyed the Dikstein family, leaving
9 new orphans.
Shuvel Dikstein, 9
murdered by a Palestinian terrorist
"We are 9 children without
parents. Who will take care of us now?" This was one of the many
questions asked by the children of Yosef and Hannah Dickstein, who
were murdered along with their nine-year-old son, Shuv-el, in a
terrorist attack on their car
Friday evening, south of Hebron.
Two additional children of
the Dickstein family from Psagot were injured in the attack. The
Dicksteins were on their way to spend the Sabbath in the settlement
of Maon in the southern Hebron hills, when terrorists opened fire at
close range, killing Yosef,
45; Hannah, 42; and Shuv-el.
Shlomo, 12, was moderately
wounded when a bullet hit his shoulder. "We were driving and all of
sudden there was gunfire," one of the children said. "Our mother was
dead, and also Shuv-el. Father began to cry and told us all to bend
down and hide... Then the terrorist came and
killed Father from close range."
Shlomo took his father's
mobile phone and alerted the emergency rescue team. "He responded
immediately, and took care of his younger brothers and got them out
of the car," family friend Shahar Rachmani said of Shlomo's actions.
The shooting came just
minutes after the same terrorist cell shot and killed Elazar
Leibovitz, 21, a soldier from the Nahal brigade and a resident of
the Avraham Avinu neighborhood in Hebron. One of the passengers
traveling with Leibovitz took the wheel and tried to honk to warn
the Dicksteins from continuing towards the terrorist
ambush, but to no avail.
The Dickstein children spent
the Sabbath at Shlomo's bedside at Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital, and
with Adi-el, 2, who was lightly injured in the shooting. Shir-el, 4,
who witnessed his mother's bloody face in the attack, wanted to know
whether she would be well and in one piece in the Resurrection of
the Dead
at the End of Days.
Rachmani said the Dicksteins
were a "wonderful family. Yosef was a native of Tel Aviv, and Hannah
was from Bnei Brak. Most of the time they lived in the Kiryat Moshe
neighborhood of Jerusalem. Yosef was, until two years ago, a rabbi
at the Bnei Akiva yeshiva Nativ Meir in Jerusalem. For the last two
years he was a rabbi
at Jerusalem's Machon Hamikdash yeshiva."
During Hanukkah last year,
the family moved to the house they built in the settlement of
Psagot, outside Ramallah. "Especially because of the situation they
felt the need to move and live in one of the settlements," Rachmani
said. "They loved the Land of Israel, and would frequently
take trips around the country."
May God bless their memory.

The Libi Fund
http://www.libi-fund.org.il/
When I served as a
medic in the Israeli army, every once in a while I would hear how
the
Libi fund helped a
soldier in need. Sometimes it was medical or financial assitance, and sometimes
it was simply providing someone
they could talk to.
New immigrants receive special assitance from
Libi, including tutoring in Hebrew and history, and help in their
integration into Israeli society. For a sample list of Libi
projects, check http://www.libi-fund.org.il/projects.html
.
In Hebrew, "Libi" means "my heart" - if you can,
please make a donation today.
