Kibbutz Be’eri is set to receive nearly $100 million for rebuilding efforts, the largest sum allocated to any of the Gaza border communities devastated by Hamas terrorists on October 7, Ynet reported on Monday. This funding is part of the Tkuma (Revival in Hebrew) Directorate, established to oversee the reconstruction of southern Israeli communities impacted by the attack. The directorate plans to deliver the final building plans to Jerusalem in two months.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew indicated in a briefing to the American Jewish community on Monday that there are “indications” Hamas leader Mohammed Deif may have been killed in an Israeli strike. While Lew could not confirm Deif's death, the potential elimination of the high-profile target has garnered significant attention. Deif, a long-standing leader of Hamas’s military wing, has been a top target for Israeli forces due to his involvement in numerous attacks against Israel. His possible death would represent a significant blow to Hamas.

In a groundbreaking development, Israeli researchers have pioneered a new method to track step length with remarkable precision, offering a beacon of hope for those with neurological diseases and age-related conditions, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Multiple Sclerosis. This innovative approach, developed at Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center - Ichilov Hospital, utilizes a lightweight sensor and an advanced algorithm to provide continuous, accurate measurements of step length.

Survivors of the devastating Hamas attack on southern Israeli communities on October 7th, along with dedicated volunteers, are tirelessly working to rebuild their kibbutzim. While there is still much to be done before these communities are fully restored, many individuals are taking the initiative to supplement government efforts and recreate their homes.
