Nitzan, a Kibbutz member: "There was a lot of tension, but also a thirst for togetherness, for playing together. The last barrage started just as everybody got back home. I hope it made everyone feel that we are together in this. The fact that we managed to go out and play before it got worse made me feel better.
The official definition by all government institutions is "a return to routine" and the emergency has ended for now. But the hard part is still ahead – going back to life, picking up the pieces. We feel this in our daily encounter with children, youth and parents in the neighborhood. We know that especially now, when we are back to routine, we must strengthen our resilience and continue to act to strengthen the community."
