We are also worried.

The last few months have been particularly difficult for all the citizens of the country and every time it seems that we have reached the bottom of the barrel of grief, we are informed of a new and terrible disaster.
Yesterday (Tuesday) it was announced that 24 soldiers fell in the Gaza Strip, 21 of them in the building collapse disaster.

shared with her followers on social media the feelings that accompany her, and probably many others, since the beginning of the Iron Swords War.
"What is this distorted reality we are in? What will happen tomorrow, will we get used to days like this? We are not supposed to get used to war. The amount of families that break up every day, that life stops and the sky falls and there is a hole in the ground and a hole in the heart."

Wertheimer continued and wrote: "We walk down the street and answer smiling, but we are afraid. Afraid of the phone, afraid to turn on the radio and hear the news, afraid of a knock on the door. Our hearts are broken, so many families and there are no words. Children, small flowers that have been picked, the videos of the soldiers that fill the network There are 400 orphans in this war, 400 orphans. 400. I want someone to tell me please that we are not orphans. I am looking for parents for our country."
Following the events, the Netal Association is increasing the helpline at 1-800-363-363 or on the association's website. The line provides mental assistance to anyone who feels pressure, anxiety and needs support and mental assistance due to the situation.
