A late night Kassam rocket attack by Palestinian militants in Gaza – described as the one of the worst in years – hit outside a tent where soldiers were sleeping inside an Israeli Defense Force basic training camp in Zikim, located between Gaza and Ashkelon to the north. According to reports by the Israeli daily newspaper Yediot Achronot, the Sept. 10 rocket strike injured 67 soldiers, both men and women, four seriously and seven moderately.
One of the soldiers, a Chabad-Lubavitch Chassid who is also a paramedic for the Magen David Adom rescue service, ran quickly to the scene where he saved the life of a fellow soldier by applying pressure to a bleeding artery.
Tuesday morning, a long line of army personnel donned tefillin in a show of solidarity with their injured comrades and to thank G-d that they themselves were safe.
Olmert reacts by doing ummm hmmm....
Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what is “tefillin”?

Once again...Olmert sucks..any questions?
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
Thank you!
