In conversation with Habslam we return to October 7, day of Hamas attack to the music festival that took place on the Israeli side. There are cities of 490 inhabitants in Israel where hundreds of people died.
At the Be’eri kibbutz, within hours, 130 of the 300 residents were killed. Habslam account TSF who still can’t understand how he survived. He talks about two angels who appeared, two Israeli guards who saved him at the last moment, when he only had one bullet left.
Today he holds the bullet up high for everyone to see and says they were many hours of shootings and atrocities. People tried to hide in the bunkers, but many could not do so and were dead at home or very close.
“They knocked on doors and convinced people to leave. Those who didn’t leave left their houses burned, full of smoke, and when they finally opened the doors because they couldn’t breathe, they decided who lived and who died,” he recalled. .
Habslam has an American accent, but this is where He’s been fighting all his life.
“There has to be changes in the Gaza Strip, they have to understand it or they won’t be able to be here,” Habslam argues.
In this farming community, almost adjacent to the Gaza Strip, the plan is reconstruct what is metal and concretebut recognizes that it will be more It’s hard to convince people to come back.. Nothing can really be the same as before.
“I was in the 1973 war, it was armies against armies, soldiers against soldiers. It was not terrorists against civilians, we had no chance,” he said.
For many Jews who live around this enormous cage that is Gaza, proximity has always been difficult. Now it seems impossible.
