Day of Horrors

This morning - very early - a terrorist rammed a hijacked taxi into a security check-point in front of a club, wounding 8 people and stabbing many others. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/terror-attack-in-tel-aviv-leaves-eight-wounded-1.381250

Then just a few hours ago a woman was stabbed to death in a 5 star hotel.  http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/australian-tourist-found-stabbed-to-death-in-tel-aviv-hotel-1.381357

Warnings of further terrorist attacks were sounded by the Min. of Defense. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/barak-gaza-groups-planning-new-major-terror-attack-on-israel-1.381345

And tomorrow is Eid il Fitr - the last day of Ramadan where thousands of muslims are expected to come to the AlAqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Security is super tight. And tensions are running to snapping point.

All we can do is pray that reason over-rides emotions.
