For thousands of children in northern Israel, growing up has meant living with missile sirens, drone alerts, and the constant threat of attack. For nearly three years, Hezbollah has made normal childhood experiences anything but normal.
History was made in the @IDF. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ A female soldier has become the first woman ever to complete the training track for Sayeret Matkal, one of the world's most elite special operations units. For more than 18 months, she took on the same demanding training as her male counterparโ€ฆ
The pain of captivity doesn't only live with those held hostage. It lives with every single person who loves them. Romi Gonen was taken from the Nova Music Festival on October 7th and held hostage in Gaza for 471 days - enduring repeated sexual abuse at the hands of her captors.โ€ฆ

For nearly three years, this has been reality for Israelis living in the north. Not knowing when the next missile will fall. Not knowing when the next drone will cross the border. Not knowing if a normal day can stay normal.
Today, during the UN Security Councilโ€™s emergency session on Lebanon, Ambassador @dannydanon made clear what too many refuse to acknowledge: The problem is Hezbollah. For years, Hezbollah has held Lebanon hostage, destabilized the region, and forced Israelis in the north to liโ€ฆ
This is the reality for Israelis living along the northern border. For nearly three years, families have lived under the constant threat of Hezbollah missiles, drones, and attacks.
Yousef Ramadan, a Nukhba terrorist commander, was among those who carried out the massacre at Reโ€™im Junction on October 7, where dozens of innocent civilians were murdered and others were taken hostage. Among those abducted from the scene were Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eliya Cohen,โ€ฆ

Months after @RomBraslavski's captivity ended, his wounds have still not fully healed. His testimony is a powerful reminder that the trauma of sexual violence does not end when captivity ends. For many survivors, the struggle continues long after they return home. ๐ŸŽฅ @13newsil vโ€ฆ
85 years ago, today, the Farhud pogrom shattered one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world. In June 1941, mobs tore through Baghdad -murdering, assaulting, and looting Jewish families simply for being Jewish. It wasn't just a tragedy for Iraqi Jewry. It became a symbolโ€ฆ

Did you know? One of Israel's most iconic songs was originally written for the Tel Aviv Pride Parade. In 2013, ""Tel Aviv"" by @therealomeradam was created as the official anthem for the parade, in collaboration with Israeli LGBTQ+ icon Arisa. More than a decade later, it's grโ€ฆ

During her 471 days in Hamas captivity, Romi Gonen held onto one song by @IshayRibo. But for Romi, it was never just a song. For as long as she could remember, it had been her mother's ringtone. In captivity, hearing those familiar words felt like hearing a piece of home - a reโ€ฆ
What do all of these images have in common? They show the same Hezbollah playbook: embedding military infrastructure in civilian areas. Homes. Schools. Neighborhoods. Places where children live and play. Hezbollah continues to put the entire region in harmโ€™s way. ๐Ÿ“ท @AJCGlobal

Over a third of all the lives lost on October 7th were young people at the Nova Music Festival. Think about that for a moment. Festival goers. Music lovers. Kids in their 20s who showed up to dance and left in body bags. If this had happened anywhere else, the world would haveโ€ฆ

For 738 days in Hamas captivity, Alon Ohel survived the unimaginable - and he did it, in part, by holding onto music. No instrument. No audience. Just melodies playing in his mind, carrying him through the darkness one note at a time. ๐ŸŽฅ @Ron_Prosor
