New Terrorist Attack in Jerusalem

Image
A new act of Islamic barbary, 41 innocent people wounded. One person has already died.  In front of Benyane Haumah,  a suspicious object abandoned at the bus stop 74 exploded, and  wounded 51 people, 4 seriously. The explosive charge was placed at a public telephone  booth and was detonated as two packed buses passed by. This is a new provocation from the Islamic barbarians  after the launching of 54 missiles in one day,  a nd the massacre of a Jewish family in Itamar, with  2 children and a 2 month baby butchered. Muslims are feasting and distributing candies for  this new barbaric act. Since I was next to the scene of the terrorist  attack, here are some pictures. NOUVEL ACTE DE BARBARIE ISLAMIQUE Un nouvel acte de la barbarie islamique-  41 innocents blessés.Une personne agee est  decedee de ses blessures.La charge explosive  etait sur un telephone public, et le terroriste  l'a fait exploser alors que 2 bus passaient.

PurimAs we read in the Megilla, Purim is on the 14th for all places that are not walled, and in Shushan and other walled cities, Jerusalem which is one of them, Shushan Purim is held the next day. So everyone in Jerusalem had a 4 day "weekend"  and spread out the Purim fun! Here are a few of the pictures our roving reporter caught on the cellphone camera!

The suns sets on the Wings of Eagles

The sun sets on the Wings of Eagles street, (Kanfei Nesharim) This street used to be Jerusalem's airport, it is a very straight street, on one level, so that the planes could take off and land here.  When Givat Shaul neighborhood was established, the airport was moved to Atarot, and this became one of the main thoroughfares from Givat Shaul to Har Nof.
