Founding Couple, Displaced by Hamas Attack, Returns to Kibbutz Nachal Oz

Yankeleh and Sarah Cohen, both 91, are returning to Kibbutz Nachal Oz, the community they helped found and lived in for seven decades. They were evacuated from their home two and a half years ago following the Hamas attack on October 7. Their journey back to the kibbutz, located on the Gaza border, is chronicled in the podcast "Ad HaKatzé" (To the Edge), which combines their personal story with archival footage detailing the kibbutz's establishment, life on the border, and the devastating events that led to its rebuilding. The article also references a separate report on survivors of captivity and a High Court of Justice petition filed by Nachal Oz against the government, with the kibbutz stating they were left with no choice. The Cohens, who were among the founders of Nachal Oz, expressed their sentiment that "We came to protect the country and it needs to protect us back."
