Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak alumni plant trees on the occasion of Tu Beshvat/Yinir Yagna
In Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak, they returned home to plant trees to continue the tradition of planting on the holiday of Tu Beshvet. The ceremony was attended by the residents and members of the emergency squad, some of whom are volunteers and today do not live in the kibbutz. ", said Chen Ravid, one of the participants of the ceremony.
"It was important to us that there should be plantings in Nir Yitzhak as well. The standby squad suffered heavy losses and our best sons were murdered while there is still a kidnapped friend," he said.
In Nir Yitzhak, 7 members of the kibbutz were murdered, when on 7.10 the standby squad managed to conduct a heroic battle and saved the residents of the kibbutz.
During the battles, most of the members of Nir Yitzhak's standby squad fell, including Rabbi Chiron Shahar, Major General Ofek Arzi, Major General Boaz Avraham and Tal Chaimi and Oren Goldin, whose bodies are being held captive in the Gaza Strip.

"I decided in the first few days to come to the kibbutz, join the army and rebuild the standby unit with the aim of returning life here as soon as possible. We train and protect the area to allow the families who are now in Kibbutz Eilot to return as soon as possible. We help the farmers and maintain the kibbutz."
