Evacuated Be’eri residents find soldiers broke into their nursery — to water the plants​

The owners of a small plant nursery in Kibbutz Be’eri, one of the worst devastated communities in the October 7 Hamas onslaught, thought they had lost their business when they were forced to evacuate.

“Be’eri had a thriving nursery for household plants. A little blossoming paradise that made everyone happy,” owner Avivit John writes on social media.

“When we were forced to evacuate, it was clear that all the plants would dry up. Rain does not get inside and the watering was done manually. After two days without water, the plants start to wither,” she says.

“Now we found a small miracle in Be’eri,” she writes, posting a video of the thriving nursery they found when they returned several weeks later and a sign explaining it.

“Sorry we broke into the nursery, we had to water the plants. With love, the soldiers,” the sign said.

Since Hamas clearly doesn't care about Gazans' wellbeing, here are some pointers:

Emotional repercussions from the war will fade for some, but many will still need help​

According to a report, one in four soldiers used the army’s mental health services and met with either a psychiatrist or a mental health officer.​

It has been said that “One day can change your life; one day can ruin your life. All life is three or four big days that change everything.” This is a good description of the wartime experience of the Jewish state: the 1948 War of Independence; the 1967 Six Day War; the 1973 Yom Kippur War; and the current – and probably most earth-shaking – Israel-Hamas war that began on October 7, 2023.

There isn’t an Israeli – whether adult or young child – who has not been affected by the news of thousands of monstrous Hamas terrorists and their commanders murdering, torturing, raping, wounding, and bombing Israel during the past month. And there is no immediate end in sight.

Today, @IDF opened a humanitarian corridor for Gazans to evacuate south. Hamas exploited it to fire mortars and anti-tank missiles at soldiers facilitating the humanitarian evacuation. Israel is trying to get civilians out of harm's way.Hamas is trying to keep them there.

After meeting Blinken, Jordan’s FM says Arab nations demand immediate ceasefire in Gaza​

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi tells reporters that though he condemns the Hamas attacks of October 7 and that though “nobody in their right mind” would “belittle” the pain felt by Israel that day, the war in Gaza cannot be permitted to continue.

“The whole region in sinking in a sea of hatred that will define generations to come,” Safadi says after a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry.

He says the Arab countries were demanding an immediate ceasefire, a more dramatic action than the humanitarian pauses supported by the Biden administration, to allow for the delivery of food and other supplies and to enable time to secure the release of hostages.

Not sure if there is one person controlling hamas, they have lost alot of top commander’s, chiefs, generals, leaders.

Hamas fighters could have lost communications with their leaders and are firing indiscriminately.

Mental health services are crucial, imo.

Me too. I’m still furious.
Israeli soldiers (the monstrous enemy) are risking their lives to assist in evacuation and Hamas (the ruling government) are attacking them with RPGs to prevent this from happening.

And again, no outrage. No media coverage. UN is silent.

IDF says Hamas attacked troops as they opened evacuation corridor for Palestinians​

An infographic released by the military on November 4, 2023, shows where the Israel Defense Forces says Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli troops as they worked to open an evacuation corridor for Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip. (Israel Defense Forces)

Earlier today, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman Lt. Col. Avichay Adraee announced that between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. the Salah a-Din road would be open for Palestinians to evacuate to southern Gaza.

The IDF says Hamas took advantage of the situation, and launched mortars and anti-tank guided missiles at troops working to open the road.

It says Hamas did so “in order to prevent [the road’s] opening for the movement of residents of the Gaza Strip.”

Hamas has been firing indiscriminately since Oct 7, IMO.

It was reported that Gaza workers in Israel provided detailed maps that enabled the October 7 massacres.

Wow. I hadn’t heard this.
