Residents of a southern Israeli kibbutz that suffered casualties during the brutal October 7, 2023, Hamas attack expressed outrage following Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu’s statement in a press conference earlier today, in which he claimed that “nothing” occurred in their community on that day.
Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha, located near the Gaza border, issued a response condemning the statement: “We were surprised and shocked by the prime minister’s blatant inaccuracy as if ‘nothing happened in Ein Hashlosha.’ This is an outrageous and grave remark that harms the memory of those murdered and the entire community.”
The kibbutz’s official statement emphasized the bravery of residents who resisted the terrorist infiltration on that tragic day: “On the most difficult morning in the state’s history, members of the security squad and residents heroically faced dozens of terrorists who breached the kibbutz. This was also presented in the IDF’s probe. During the battle, four of our beloved residents were murdered: Rami Negbi, Noa Glazberg, Silvia Mirensky and Marcelle Taljah.”
“They aren’t ‘nothing,’” the statement asserted powerfully, referencing the fallen community members.
Calling on Netanyahu to acknowledge the truth, the kibbutz community urged him to visit and witness firsthand the impact of that harrowing day: they invited him “to meet the community and hear the story of Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha.”
