Gaza border kibbutz that lost 4 members on Oct. 7 slams PM for saying ‘nothing’ happened there

Members of a Gaza border town where four residents were killed in Hamas’s onslaught of October 7, 2023, express shock at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim in his press conference today that “nothing” happened there on that day.

Residents of Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha tell the media in a 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.”

“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,” the statement adds. “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 kibbutz residents demand a correction and invite Netanyahu to Ein Hashlosha “to meet the community and hear the story of Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha.”
