Ruth Margalit writes about the landscape and residents of Be’eri, a kibbutz in southern Israel near the border with Gaza, a year after the Hamas attacks.
“Listen,” she said, with a faint smile. We were sitting on a park bench, and children were laughing and screaming at a playground nearby. Nira, who is fifty-five, met her husband, Yossi Sharabi, and moved in with him at Be’eri nineteen years ago. Their eldest daughter, Yuval, was born a year later; two more daughters quickly followed. Now, as she looked on at the children playing, and at their parents, who had congregated on a sloping lawn, it was almost as if things were normal again, she said.
Reporting by an Israeli news site in June revealed that, of the twenty-four southern communities that were vacated after October 7th, nineteen “will not return in the foreseeable future.” For the most part, their residents do not feel that it would be safe to move back.
