Bulldozers knock down several buildings in Kibbutz Be’eri as part of an ongoing restoration and rehabilitation plan following the destruction of much of the kibbutz on October 7.
The demolitions, which are scheduled to continue until June 17, are the second phase of the clearing out of damaged structures, the Tekuma Authority says in a statement.
Following the completion of the first phase earlier this year involving damaged private residences, the second phase focuses on communal structures, including the sewing studio, the kibbutz art gallery, and educational facilities, says the Authority, which is the government organ involved with rehabilitating more than 20 communities affected by the onslaught.
The Tekuma Authority, which has a budget of more than NIS 18 billion ($5 billion), says that more 100 new structures will be built in Be’eri before it is ready to be repopulated sometime next year.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
