Israelis fight for normalization, post-October 7

Imagine laying in bed and hearing rockets streak overhead and not thinking that it's the rockets themselves that are odd, but rather that there are so, so, so many rockets -- so many more than usual -- that's the oddity. That's how October 7 started for Michal Uziyahu and her family in Ein Habesor, a Jewish community located three miles from Gaza, during the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israel. She speaks about how the morning opened and how she rushed to get her family into the home safety room, and then watched with growing alarm the WhatsApp messages that flew from those of neighboring communities, showing images of abducted, images of invasions and messages of warning about terror attacks. And how's Ein Habesor faring now, in the months since the terror? Tune in. Uziyahu has a powerfully emotional story to share.
