The current round of fighting in the south of the country presents Hapoel Beer Sheva with a difficult challenge: signing foreign players, when in the background the images in the news releases around the world show difficult images and reports of hundreds of rockets being fired at Israel.
"It was not easy to convince foreigners to come here even before the operation in Gaza" they said in the capital of the Negev and added: "Now the task is more complex, but we have proven that there is a good enough and high-quality faculty here to meet our goals in Europe."
Eliniv Barda continues to examine candidates, most of them in the Scandinavian market, where player prices are relatively reasonable, while the local leagues are at their peak of activity.
The coach is looking for another winger and another creative midfielder.
He watched dozens of players in recent weeks, some of whom could not be brought in, while other deals fell through, such as that of Polish midfielder Damien Kondzor from the Polish team Galbice.

The owner Alona Barkat is willing to invest quite a bit of money in the purchase, but as mentioned, the market situation was not encouraging either and now the operation in Gaza is not helping either.
Be'er Sheva hopes that as time goes by there will be more players available on the market or those who will be released from their teams and thus it will be easier to find the right purchase.
