October 7 attackers methodically ruined the western Negev’s agricultural sector. Now ReGrow Israel aims to help farmers rebuild bigger and better.
On the infamous morning of October 7, Hamas invaders went on a kidnapping and murdering rampage at Kibbutz Nahal Oz near the Gaza border.
But that’s not all. The terrorists took the time and trouble to destroy or steal every bit of the kibbutz’s farming infrastructure.
“The untold story is that the attack on October 7 was also a methodical and strategic attack against the agriculture of the western Negev region,” says Danielle Abraham, executive director of Volcani International Partnerships (VIP) and a leader of its new ReGrow Israel philanthropic project.
Every one of the 40 irrigation control boxes on the Nahal Oz fields was smashed, the customized computer chips inside stolen. Every farm vehicle was burned or taken into Gaza.
Nahal Oz head of agriculture Moran Freibach, who also suffered personal losses, didn’t let the devastation defeat him.
In an open field between the kibbutz and the Gaza Strip, Freibach and his crew went out with a tank for protection and planted wheat, undeterred by the nearby booms of war.
“He said that Hamas understood the importance of agriculture here, of people’s connection to the land and the national dream of making the desert bloom,” says Abraham.
‘If Hamas is going to try to destroy our connection with the land,’ he told me, ‘we will replant and do it bigger and better.’”
Those people will say anything. They are the world’s most
dedicated liars. I know the democrats are giving them a
run for the money though.
Anyone buying what they are saying, is exhibit number one
of a case that they are just ignorant as a rock on the
topic of the Arabs vs the Jews in that conflict.
I sincerely hope that the palescumians who killed the kibbutzniks and stole their agricultural equipment are already dead or are soon to be dead. And that the gazans who aided and abetted their efforts starve to death and lay dead in the streets, bloated and picked at by rats and birds.
Who is that pro-Ham-Ass poster who posts stories of “Israeli Attrocities” with links to peculiar/pro-Islamafascist sources?
On FR?? I have no idea. It must be one of the Russia-ites. Russia is a close ally of Iran, the sponsor of Hamas.
Well said, Golda.
I hope the IDF kills every living thing in Gaza.
I’d stand up and cheer.

I’ve read a book from her, the title escapes me. I also read a few from Natan Sharansky and Dore Gold (”Tower of Babylon” about the UN).
I can’t understand how any decent, rational person would support Hamas.
Palestinians just like New Yorkers...keep voting for the people who are killing them,
I had the privilege of visiting the farm areas just north of Gaza, very productive land. We were withing 20 yards of the wall.
The terms palestinians is just another word for terrorist except one knows exactly where these terrorists are from.
Waiting for leftists to condemn hamas for destroying another country’s agriculture.
But NOT holding my breath.
