New Terrorist Attack in Jerusalem
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.

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.
