BE’ERI, Oct 26 (Reuters) – Gal Cohen walks along a memorial wall engraved with the names of the men, women and children slain in the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on his kibbutz. For him, the idea that the man leading Israel, then and since, may be re-elected on Tuesday is painful.
One-in-ten residents of his kibbutz, Be’eri, were among the 1,200 people killed in Hamas’ surprise attack. Dozens were among the 251 taken hostage to Gaza. It was Israel’s deadliest single day.
