In the southern border community of Kibbutz Kfar Aza, a once vibrant area for young people has been destroyed. On Monday, September 16, 2024, an Israeli flag hangs on a house that was nearly a year ago the target of a deadly Hamas attack on October 7. The attack, which took place in 2023, claimed the lives of the Kotz family, who were mourned by their community in Gan Yavne. The family of five was killed in their home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, located near the border with the Gaza Strip. The devastating event has left a lasting impact on the community and serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict in the region.
