Last month as many of you know, Israel faced a
barrage of threats both from missile attacks from
Lebanon & Gaza, and terror attacks in Israel in the
Jordan Valley and Tel Aviv. Boca Pointe’s ambulances
stationed across Israel, no doubt played a part in keeping
Israel and her people safe.
One Shabbat, a terrorist drove a car into eight people
on a seaside promenade in Tel Aviv. A 36-year-old Italian
tourist, Alessandro Parini, was pronounced dead at the
scene. Seven other tourists from Italy and the United
Kingdom were hurt.
MDA Senior EMT Yosef Kurey was first on the scene.
“Upon arrival I saw a vehicle turned over,” he said.
“Next to it was a 17-year-old girl who was hit by the car,

We have had a few recent complaints
from residents who have had
uncomfortable encounters with
dogs off leash around
the property. We are
reaching out to our
residents to remind them
of our rules concerning
keeping dogs on leashes and cleaning pet litter. As a
resident of Boca Pointe you must: Keep your dog on a
Leash. All dogs must be controlled on a leash by an able-
bodied person, at all times, whenever the dog is on property.
Also, you must clean up and properly dispose of pet waste
when your pet relieves itself. Knowing and abiding by our
community’s animal-related ordinances will help make our
neighborhood a better place for everyone. Thank you! 
