Please say tehillim for:

Mira Rut bas Chaya Leah
Yosef Yitzchak ben Mira Rut
Chana bas Mira Rut
Geulah bas Mira Rut
The three killed were a married couple in their 30s, and an individual in his 20s.
The victims were killed and injured when a Grad rocket hit an apartment building in Kiryat Malachi. The dead were among a large group that had taken refuge in an old building that suffered a direct hit from a Grad rocket. Rescue teams were trying to remove victims of the attack from the rubble, and were preparing for the possibility of more casualties, Magen David Adom officials said.
At around noon, several rockets were fired at Sderot, with one scoring a direct hit on a home. Miraculously, no one was injured in that attack, but that house sustained heavy danger. At least one rocket fell near a large gas installation. Rockets hit homes in Kiryat Gat and Ashdod. One person was lightly injured in the Ashdod attack. Also in Ashdod, a rocket destroyed two containers at Ashdod Port.
Another Grad rocket was fired at Kiryat Malachi at about 10:30 AM Israel time. Reports said that an Iron Dome missile blasted the rocket in the air above the city, before it could land and explode. Police urged residents to remain indoors and under cover, even in the event that an Iron Dome missile prevents an attack, because shrapnel from the destroyed missile falling to the ground could still injure people. At least one person in Ashdod was injured when they were struck by shrapnel from a rocket that was destroyed by an Iron Dome missile.
A heavy barrage of Grad and Katyusha rockets was fired at the main population centers in southern Israel Thursday morning. Red Alert warnings were heard in Ashdod, Ashkelon, Kiryat Malachi, Beersheva, and Ofakim. Speaking live from Beersheva at around 8:00 AM Israel time, Israel Radio’s correspondent counted at least a dozen missiles hitting in the area of the city. The IDF said that several of the rockets fired at Ashdod and Ashkelon were intercepted by the Iron Dome rocket interception system.
IDF officials expected the barrage to continue throughout Thursday morning, as Gazans prepare to bury Ahmed Jaabari, commander of Hamas’s “military” terror wing, who was eliminated Wednesday night, takes place. The IDF was on alert throughout the country, saying that terror activity was likely to increase, with possible rioting by Arabs in PA controlled areas of Judea and Samaria, and a strong likelihood that terrorists would attempt to kidnap IDF soldiers or Israeli civilians. Speaking to Israel Radio, Public Security Minister Yitzchak Aharonovich said that the rocket fire would most likely get worse as the day went on, as the funeral for Jaabari progressed.
There was a very strong likelihood that Hamas would try to fire a missile at Tel Aviv or another city in the center of the country, security officials said, in order to score a decisive blow against Israel in revenge for the elimination of Jaabari.
The IDF eliminated three Hamas terrorists early Thursday, Israel Radio said, as Gaza Arab terrorists continued to hammer Israeli towns and villages with rockets. Several rockets were fired at the Be’ersheva and Ofakim areas on Thursday morning. The three were members of Hamas’ military wing, the IDF said. Since midnight Wednesday, about 30 rockets were fired at Israeli targets, for a total of over 110 since the beginning of the Pillar of Defense operation Wednesday night.
CUT TO THE CHASE…AD MOSAI WITH BITTER TEARS, FROM THE DEPTHS OF OUR HEART!!! PLEASE LET US ALL CUT TO THE CHASE; WE DO NEED TO FIGHT & PROTECT OUR SELVES,WE DO NEED TO INCREASE IN TZNIUS, ACHDUS, DAVEN WITH KAVANA, T’SHUVA IN GENERAL, (which can take merely a moment) BUT PLEASE REMEMBER THE REBBE’S BOTTOM LINE: WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING WE COULD, NOW ALL THIS IS LEFT IS TO PREP. OURSELVES & THE WORLD FOR MOSHIACH… DO WHAT YOU CAN HERE & NOW TO BRING MOSHIACH, WHATEVER IT TAKES, MAYBE THERE WILL BE 10 AKSHONIM OR EVEN 3 WHO… Read more »
moshiach now!!!
TERRIBLE we need more unity! we need to stop hating each other just because we are different types of Jews. When Hashem sees that we are all united and we all care about each other no matter who, then He will stop the pain that keeps coming to our nation!
You are playing with fire, the Rebbe would have shed many tears for these heylekeh neshamos. How can you attack them at this point Bc they are clearly mischchist. That should not matter right now and I’m saddend to hear people have such perspectives. You should apologize to these special people.
there is no need to justify you being a mishichist… be proud of who u are and quit getting defensive!
there u go wat u just said is da prob it shudn’t make a diff if he’s lubav or nt! & the 31 & 45 clowns u idiots are makin chilul hashem by startin 2 blame ppl on y this is goin it makes no diffrence just correct urslefs & pray we shud all correct our own issue’s & pray pray pray
right on!
IF ISRAEL WOULD STOP GIVING A DARN ABOUT WHAT THE WORLD SAYS AND THINKS AND WOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND PROTECT THEMSELVES THEY WOULD MAYBE HAVE THE GUTS TO GO INTO EVERY ARAB TOWN AND BOMB THEM ALL. THE WOMEN AND KIDS ARE ONLY FUTURE TERRORISTS ANYWAY.
As long as people on both sides believe they have god on their side this lunacy will continue.
Who put he sign with blood up? What does it say?
Maybe you could tell women to wear burkas because that seems to work for the Muslims. Somebody who lives in China can not affect the safety of someone living in New York.
If that was the case World 1&2 should have never happen.
And that is the problem. You are taught what to think, not how to think. The majority can’t think for themselves.
as a former soldier in the idf sitting here in montreal i wish i can be back wiyh my pretoune and kill all these arabs one by one they all merite to die amen kaahana was right begin also
Scary and really sad 🙁 we need to work harder to bring mashiach!
Please, this is not about blame, is about what can each one of us can do to better the situation, each one of us with our own nisyionos.
we believe in torah and rebbes teachings. we are taught that our way of dress affects their safety- so why are you in denial? its precisely because you struggle with it so much that shows its strong power- please dont pick and choose what you believe in- just because something is hard for you and you dont want to feel guilty that you are responsible for their deaths- is not a reason to deny it. face it! our actions do affect their safety- dont be selfish and continue harming others by not caring
It’s horrible now in the class rooms of isreal there is an atmosphere of war and fear teacher know ther the student have horrible memories from previouse war and therefore let the students go and they please. No one even feels like smiling and all the girls and constantly calling thier family and friends to make sure they are still alive what does He want from us please moshiach now!! As mosai
Blaming this on the clothing of the women in Crown heights sounds as crazy as the Taliban and Muslim extremists in other countries……….
really? dom hu hanefesh… basic chumash…the victims family would not be pleased IM SURE! just disrespectful…kol dmai acheicha TZOAKIM!! give them respect,,give them nechoma!
This is a Lubavitch website so it does matter. True,each Jew is precious ,but there is and have always been a special kinship between Chassidim in particular.To bring the point home,imagine it was C”V a blood relative,it would effect you deeper then if it was a random Jew.Chassidim Ayn Mishpocha.
I disagree….The pictures of blood and destruction MUST BE SEEN….(there are NO bodies that arent properly adhered to, plenty of Kavod Hameitim)…Seeing the grisly scene is what makes our blood boil, and effects us physically, emotionally and spiritually. Excellent photographs ! Additionally, these were JEWS, not just lubavitchers…JEWISH blood is not cheap and Gaza will pay an exhorbitant price….
We should have listened to Kahane and bulldozed the entire azah into egypt build a big wall and enough. The kindness of these peace treaties is really cruelty as is witnessed here. The Gemara/ Chachamim says those who are kind to the cruel people will in the end be cruel to the kind people. PM of Israel, are you reading this ?, enough with this 2 state baloney. WAKE UP TO THE REALITY. Slam them hard, ignore the lefties, and PROTECT YOUR PEOPLE, thats the job HKB”H gave you when elected. If you dont you will suffer in Geh–om for… Read more »
you really are ridiculous to think clothing is the reason for this. We women are responsible for every bad thing in the world. Stop blaming women for the worlds problems and put the blame where it should be with the men.
The Rebbe told us many times when you say the words “ES TZEMACH DOVID AVDICHA MEHAIRA SATZMIACH” and V’SECHEZENA AINEINU B’SHUVCHA L’TZION B’RACHAMIM say it with your whole heart and soul….! MOSHIACH IMMEDIATELY!!
the only solution is Moshiach, may he come immediately!!!!
I don’t know what is going to take to bring peace and stop the bloodshed for Israelis and Palestinians; but it needs to come. Along with prayer and mizvots, we must do much to more to get the negotiations and the leaders of both sides to agree on something that is acceptable and that brings much needed peace to the region.. Moshiah NOW!!
please! no photos of destruction inside that shows destruction to yiddishe neshomos ..kovod hameis !please esp for the families!!!!
The Rebbe told us many years ago, we had so many chances.. KILL THEM OUT! NO PEACE WITH ANIMALS! The Prime Minister Netanyahu better tell his army, Full Speed Ahead! Once and for all get Rid of Them! The world will not complain..it will be happy to have one less problem to deal with…Of Course Moshiach is a much quicker Way!
Rebbe very clear that being careful about tznius k halacha
Brings shmira to yidden in Eretz Yisroel.
The Rebbe said that when the Jewish ladies our tznius it literarly saves lives in Eretz Yisroel. Please take on to be more tznius today in zechus of those who have passed and that our holy land should be safe
….we’re sick of this Golus, can’t bear any more, why don’t you open the door! Your children are yearning to be with you, how long must this Golus continue, bring the Geulah fullfilling your vow and Bring Moshiach Right NOW!!!
At the risk of sounding harsh, I disagree with you. We need to see blood – precisely because it HURTS. It needs to HURT DEEPLY. It REALLY needs to hurt.
The Rebbe said that when the Jewish ladies our tznius it literarly saves lives in Eretz Yisroel. Please take on to be more tznius today in zechus of those who have passed and that our holy land should be safe
We’re trying our best to be friends with each chabad person in Crown Heights, for sure… But The only answer is for IDF to finish off once and for all Gaza and Hamas!!! It’s going to take earthly army stuff to wipe em out this time.
H’YD

Tehillim still help for refuas hanefesh.
Something drastic like never before.
Something so great, so holy, so spark-raising that there will be no other choice but to reach the Geula Shleima. I am calling all Jews wherever you are to reach VERY DEEP in your heart today and remove ALL BASELESS HATRED from its recesses. Instead of that Sinat Chinam – let the Light of Hashem heal the wounds. Let the Light of Hashem heal our collective neshama. Please. We must do this clearing out of the grievances and machlokot. However old they may be.
Whats your problem BOMB AZA. How many Jews does it take before you get rid of the Terrorist?

.
are flowing right now,,,but please for respect of the families delete photos of dom naki ..its insulting and insensitive to klal yisroel
it is hard and dificult to say this. but it must be said. the Rebbe said numerous times that what happenes “here” reflects on what happnes in eretz hakoidesh. the fact that many pepole and schluchim can not walk safely and freely in 770 including leaders and pepole who were put by the rebbe in postions of moisdois, this fact means that we have a lot of work to do on our end. isnt it odd that after many years of rockets the first time anyone was killed as a direct result of a rocket were members of Anash? and… Read more »
ברוך דיין האמת
