Nearing the end of Kaddish for the Oct 7 victims and Agam Berger's 20's birthday in captivity in Gaza, Parashat Re’eh highlights our freedom of choice between the blessing and the curse.
The Eshkol Regional Council was one of the areas devastated on October 7, with many of its communities overrun by Hamas terrorists.
The first Gaza border restoration plan begins: Approval for a new residential area and restoring a damaged one in Kibbutz Be'eri: "By summer 2026, Be'eri members will return."
IDF's Be'eri report triggers intense infighting among military branches and leadership, highlighting failures in intelligence and command during the October 7 conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Physical destruction can be cleared and rehabilitated, but as long as the hostages are held by Hamas, there is no possibility to rebuild.
The report includes unimaginable events, each of which alone could fill the lesson plans of every officer and commander in the IDF for years to come.
Halevi, while delivering the situational assessment, commented on the strike that killed Rafa’a Salameh, commander of the Khan Yunis Brigade, which was confirmed earlier on Sunday.
The investigation into Be'eri exposes deep frustration over leadership failures during conflict, demanding accountability from Israeli authorities for the events of October 7.
To Israel’s politicians, who have time and time again since the war began thwarted blame – show some humility. This is at least in part on your heads.
The disaster at Be’eri is a symbol of the state in general; It represents what will happen if the country continues down a path of arrogance and complacency.
