Vermin strike Tzfat, Haifa to be next

It's getting worse for Israel in the north. I was in Tzfat last year for a Shabbat, and know people who have property there. It is one of the most spiritual places on earth, and was the home to Yosef Caro who penned the Shulchan Aruch; the concise, brilliant commentary on the Talmud which the vast majority of observant Jews rely upon to this day.

Arutz Sheva News - Katyusha missiles slammed into the Jewish holy city of Tzfat Thursday afternoon, striking a college. Several people were injured as Hizbullah threatened to strike Haifa next.

Seven 122mm Katyusha rockets struck Tzfat (Safed) around 3 PM Wednesday. One landed near a bus stop, one near an absorption center and the others in populated areas as well. At least 20 people are being treated for wounds. A 70-year-old woman died of her wounds about an hour after the attack, and another person remains in serious condition. The rest suffered light injuries from shrapnel and shock.

We have to pray that Olmert is going to sometime soon unleash the full power of the IDF. The vermin must be destroyed before this gets any worse.
