Can't sleep, and probably won't. Keep picturing the horrible images of today. The young woman screaming while taken on a motorbike by two men.
The young boy - maybe 3 years old - alone in captivity being hit with a stick and ridiculed for being "a dirty Jew".
The elderly woman who clearly suffers from dementia and has no idea what's happening while her captors are laughing.

My friend's sister, Amit. A paramedic who tried to save lives in #KibbutzBari and she is only 22 years old. The last time they heard from her was that she told her family that the terrorists came in, shot her in the legs and that she loved them. Since then it is not known what happened to her.

I can’t sleep thinking about that #German women who went to Israel to attend peace concert and show solidarity with #Palestine and ended up in back of truck, raped and murdered by Hamas who filmed it with pride and posted it online. I can’t imagine her family
The father who shields his son while terrorists are firing above them, the child asking, horrified if they will kill him.
The mother who heard her two sons over the phone begging not to be taken away, telling armed men they are too young to die. Bodies of dozens of young partygoers who found themselves surrounded and shot. Some people called this day a celebration of human rights and cheered. Those who are truly humane will spend tonight crying.

Thoughtful and wise from an Israeli war correspondent @EfratLachter
It is a nightmare.
…
Israel is a very small place, and we know of friends who are missing, or who have been injured, and we are terrified that soon we will start hearing of people we know who lost their lives.
The videos circling on social media remind me of the war crimes I witnessed ISIS commit. They are streaming the horrors for the world to see, and my people are recognizing their loved ones in the most horrible way one can imagine.
….We are no Saints for sure. I wish, as many of my friends do, that there was a two-state solution a long time ago. The Palestinians deserve to have a country.
But conflicts are messy. Complicated. Hard to explain. No coincidence I made my career trying to show that.
What I find hard for people to understand is that the ongoing conflict is not against the Palestinians as people and that Gaza and the West Bank are two separate fronts.
In Gaza, the leadership is from Hamas, a terrorist group and not a legitimate government. They have murdered violated and kidnapped civilians today and in the past. They have terrorized their people.
…Gaza is one of the worst places on this planet to live in. But it's not because of Israel. We withdrew from Gaza in 2005 (unlike the West Bank). In 2007, Hamas won a democratic election in Gaza. They selected a terror group. Many Palestinians told me it was the biggest mistake they ever made. If only we could turn back time.
Since 2007, thousands of rockets have been launched from Gaza to Israel. In the south of the country, people got “used” to living under constant shelling. Iron Dome made it possible to live, but still, you have to get to a shelter in about 20 seconds, or else. This is the daily routine. Could you imagine living that way? Raising your kids in such a fragile reality?

De uma correspondente de guerra israelita muito atenciosa e sábia @EfratLachter
É um pesadelo.
...
Israel é um lugar muito pequeno e sabemos de amigos que estão desaparecidos, ou que foram feridos, e estamos aterrorizados que em breve vamos começar a ouvir falar de pessoas que conhecemos que perderam as suas vidas.
Os vídeos que circulam nas redes sociais fazem-me lembrar os crimes de guerra que vi o ISIS cometer. Estão a transmitir os horrores para o mundo ver, e o meu povo está a reconhecer os seus entes queridos da forma mais horrível que se pode imaginar.
.... Não somos santos, de certeza. Gostaria, como muitos dos meus amigos, que tivesse havido uma solução de dois Estados há muito tempo. Os palestinianos merecem ter um país.
Mas os conflitos são confusos. Complicados. Difíceis de explicar. Não foi por acaso que fiz a minha carreira a tentar mostrar isso.
O que acho que as pessoas não compreendem é que o conflito em curso não é contra os palestinianos enquanto povo e que Gaza e a Cisjordânia são duas frentes distintas.
Em Gaza, a liderança é do Hamas, um grupo terrorista e não um governo legítimo. Assassinaram, violaram e raptaram civis, hoje e no passado. Aterrorizaram o seu próprio povo.
Gaza é um dos piores sítios do planeta para se viver. Mas não é por causa de Israel. Retirámo-nos de Gaza em 2005 (ao contrário do que aconteceu com a Cisjordânia). Em 2007, o Hamas ganhou uma eleição democrática em Gaza. Elegeram um grupo terrorista. Muitos palestinianos disseram-me que foi o maior erro que alguma vez cometeram. Se ao menos pudéssemos voltar atrás no tempo.
Desde 2007, milhares de rockets foram lançados de Gaza para Israel. No sul do país, as pessoas "habituaram-se" a viver sob constantes bombardeamentos. O Iron Dome tornou possível viver aí, mas ainda assim, é preciso chegar a um abrigo em cerca de 20 segundos, ou então... Esta é a rotina diária. Consegue imaginar-se a viver assim? Criar os seus filhos numa realidade tão frágil?
