As part of the ground incursion into the Gaza Strip and the raid by forces on buildings inside the Gaza Strip, soldiers are required to carry out frantic and dangerous searches for tunnel shafts, weapons and intelligence materials that are seized in large quantities in almost every home. Among the items of war, they often find various objects that once belonged to Israelis and sometimes have a special story behind them.
The beloved singerIdan Reichel, who, like many artists since the war began, has been engaged in Israeli advocacy, visiting evacuees and wounded and raising soldiers' morale, recently received a very special message from a number that was not reserved for him in his contacts. The person who sent him the message identified himself as a reserve soldier currently in Khan Yunis and told him that during the search for weapons in one of the houses he came across an old photo of the singer, and judging by the appearance of the singer's rastas, one can only guess how many years ago it was taken.
Reichel posted another story in which he told the story behind the photo: "In 2010, I'm going to visit children in Wolfson, in the hospital. Suddenly, a Palestinian stops me and says, 'Listen, I'm a fan of your music, I know the project and in general. Fourteen years later, they find this picture that he took someone from his family, at his house in Khan Yunis. Go know who this man is and what he did. Crazy world."
As a result of the situation, NATAL is reinforcing the helpline at 14-1-800-363 or on the organization's website. The hotline provides emotional assistance to anyone who feels stressed, anxious and needs emotional support and assistance.
