CNN Report:
Fighting reported at Mumbai Jewish center
MUMBAI, India (CNN) — Fighting broke out early Friday between government soldiers in a helicopter and gunmen holed up inside a Jewish center where two or three gunmen were believed to be remaining.
Two of the hostages freed after police stormed the Oberoi Hotel in Mumbai.
The helicopter dropped off seven or eight soldiers onto the roof of the Chabad house, and then moved away from the line of fire, CNN sister station CNN-IBN reported.
The operation followed after grenades had been tossed from inside the structure toward anyone approaching the building — three such explosions occurred in four hours.
But movement appeared imminent shortly before dawn, when several jeeploads of police, firetrucks and at least one ambulance pulled up to the five-story structure.
The fighting at Chabad house comes as Indian security forces appear to be gaining control of two Mumbai five-star hotels attacked by gunmen in a wave of violence that has lasted more than 24 hours and killed at least 125 people.
A gunman was killed around 1 a.m. in the Oberoi hotel, where commandos were going room-to-room, trying to flush out attackers and rescue people, J.K. Dutt, the director of India’s National Security Guard, told CNN-IBN, CNN’s sister network in India.

Anxiously awaiting confirmed GOOD NEWS!
Let’s keep davening and saying tehillim for their immediate release.
Don’t waste time scrutinizing the footage until your imagination plays tricks on you. It looks more like a “head covering” to me.
If those are tzitzus, where are the strings? Did the one waving the pair of tzitzis make a wide fist to get the top so perfectly rounded?
good news
keep davening
anzthing new?

I hope the shluchim and all hostages are okay
hopeful
we could reasonably believe its going to be good…if police are still fighting with militants, then there must be hostages inside still alive, bec otherwise they couldve leveled the place. also, i think the talis/tzitzis is a good sign…tracht gut.
ACHDUS NEEDED
THIS LOOKS LIKE A CLEAR SIGN FROM HASHEM THAT MORE ACHDUS AND AHAVAS YISROEL IS NEEDED…………IT’S NICE TO TAKE ON MORE HACHLATOS, BUT IF WE, AS LUBAVITCHERS (AND AS YIDDEN IN GENERAL), ARE MAKING HACHLATOS, STILL IN OUR OWN SEPARATE “CAMPS”, THEN WHAT GOOD IS IT?!?! THE ACHDUS IS LACKING! WHATEVER MITZVAH IS MOST DIFFICULT IS MOST IMPORTANT, IN THIS CASE, IT SEEMS THAT WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN GROUPS AND SIMPLE “V’AHAVTA L’REIACHA KAMOCHA” IS NEEDED.
WHERE I LIVE, THERE WERE 2 SEPARATE ROSH CHODESH KISLEV FARBRENGENS………WHY?!?!?! HOW CAN CHASSIDIM CELEBRATE FOR THE REBBE WITH A LACK OF AHAVAS YISROEL?! UNITE!!
WE’RE FIGHTING OVER MOSHIACH, SO HOW WILL WE BRING HIM?!
TO TAKE ON NEW HACHLATOS OF IE: TEFILLIN, GET SOMEONE TO LIGHT SHABBOS CANDLES, ETC….IS WONDERFUL, BUT THE KEY OF AHAVAS YISROEL IS MISSING, THE PURE GENUINE LOVE FOR OUR FELLOW YID, AND I MEAN FELLOW LUBAVITCHER, SATMAR….ETC….
DON’T GET ME WRONG, THE MITZVOS EVERYONE IS TAKING ON ARE WONDERFUL, BUT THE ONE THING THAT’S ALWAYS IGNORED IS ACHDUS…. PPL. WHO STILL AREN’T TALKING TO EACH OTHER OR FARBRENGING SEPARATELY ARE TAKING ON NEW HACHLATOS, BUT THE ACHDUS IS STILL LACKING…..“ZEH KLAL GADOL BATORAH”, AND BASIC DERECH ERETZ FOR OUR FELLOW YIDDEN (“DERECH ERETZ KADMOH LATORAH”…..WE’RE MISSING THE BASICS…..AND WE CAN CHANGE THIS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
I THINK THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL: “YIDDEN, UNITE!!”
IT’S TOUGH, BUT WE CAN DO IT….DO IT FOR THE HOLTZBERGS, DO IT TO BRING MOSHIACH NOW! THROW AWAY THE EXTERNAL DIFFERENCES/DIFFERENCES OF OPINIONS, AND FOCUS ON WHAT UNITES US. WE’VE SUFFERED ENOUGH IN THIS GOLUS, AND IT’S IN OUR POWER, WE’VE BEEN CHOSE TO BRING MOSHIACH…..
WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!
