Trump signs deal with Iran saying ‘now is time to test implementation’

We cannot do this work alone.

The war with Iran was a burden for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high-casualty incident—ballistic missile strikes in Arad and Dimona that injured nearly 200 people—I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.

There I spoke to Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for disadvantaged young people. Standing in front of her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children had been hurt and spoke of how the community had come together in the hours since.

As a reporter for The Times of Israel, I am committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I cannot do it alone.
