Sunday in Sederot...rockts, Monday, rockets. Tuesday...Wednesday...even on Shabbat the poor Sederotians don't get a break.
This past Shabbat morning in Sederot...the rockets continued to fall and landed on 3 cars. The only thing that remained from the above car were the initials for G-d; HaKadosh Baruch Hu (The Holy One Blessed be He).
Friday night wasn't quiet in Kiryat Gat either. In the Chareidi neighborhood of Kiryat Gat, a family caught a robber red-handed. After beating him up significantly that he couldn't run away anymore, he was dragged to a public telephone and forced to call the police to turn himself in.
The family didn't want to call themselves because it was Shabbat, so they forced the thief to call and turn himself in.
From a Jewish Legal standpoint of halacha, I have no clue if they asked in advance if that was the correct thing to do.
Seems to me that even a Jewish thief shouldn't be forced to call the police on Shabbat.
