On Israel’s side, no one is too much in this war. Hundreds of thousands of reservists have already been mobilized, no one is sparing efforts among those who, due to their age – because they are too young or too old – can no longer wear the uniform.
At the entrance to one of the kibbutz attacked a week ago, Kfar Aza, next to the Gaza Strip, soldiers prevent civilians from entering. They camped behind a concrete shelter and, in addition to the whistles of other soldiers passing by on the road, they receive, for example, packages of cookies and sweets that are personally delivered by three children who arrive in a shiny black car.
Upon our arrival, we immediately heard the slogans. “I love Israel,” they say in English. Upon learning the origin of those who questioned them, the sentiment expanded: “I love Portugal.”
The kids don’t linger in English, nor on the way home. They leave amidst the sound of clashes in the Gaza Strip and columns of smoke far away on the horizon. An electronics technician is also waiting for you there. Come and deliver videos, video cameras that the military will install in the attacked kibbutz.
“I’m not going to wear them. I’m just giving them to you,” he explains to TSF.
After the doors were literally broken and an intrusion was completed with tragic results, whoever returns to Kfar Aza will already have another measure of protection. Surveillance cameras so that at least help doesn’t take so long to arrive.
Up ahead, in Sderot, now a ghost town, the police command is filling many, many boxes with food, clothes and toys. Help, like the one that a group of four retired reservists raised in Tel Aviv and we found somewhere at the exit of a highway that leads very close to hell.
