Terrorism

Israeli security officials on Sunday thwarted a major terrorist attack when they identified and detained a Palestinian man attempting to board the city’s light rail with a bag full of pipe bombs.

The incident occurred along the busy pedestrian mall on Jaffa Road in downtown Jerusalem.

A security guard for the light rail noticed the suspect standing behind one of the pick-up points with a large bag. Feeling uneasy about his demeanor, the guard asked to examine the man’s bag and quickly noticed what appeared to be a bomb.

Police responded to the scene immediately and arrested the would-be terrorist at gunpoint, while sappers disposed of the explosives.

Officials said that had the terrorist been successful, a great many people could have died and been injured, as that portion of the light rail is usually packed with commuters during morning rush hour.

Hebrew Music Monday ✡ "Train a Child in His Way" - ISRAEL365

Train a child according to his way; even when he grows old, he will not turn away from it. PROVERBS (22:6)   חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל פִּי דַרְכּוֹ גַּם כִּי יַזְקִין לֹא יָסוּר מִמֶּנָּה משלי כב:ו kha-nokh la-na-ar al pee dar-ko gam kee yaz-keen lo ya-sur mi-me-na

Today's Israel Inspiration Throughout Proverbs, King Solomon offers words of wisdom and correction for the wise of heart. However, not everyone learns the same way, and a child will not learn from words alone. King Solomon urges us to use all means necessary to reach the child, "according to his way." A special organization brings to light Solomon's wisdom in treating trauma in children after a terror attack. The Shiloh Therapy Center in Israel provides unconventional and very effective therapy programs to help kids open up about their trauma, offering music therapy, art therapy, and animal therapy in addition to traditional counseling. Their methods work so well precisely because of Solomon's wisdom: using different mediums to encourage children to speak about their experiences. Helping victims of terror has never meant more.
