By Worthy News’ George Whitten and Stefan J. Bos
JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Israeli parents welcomed a new life Friday amid death and destruction. Their baby was born in southern Israel, an area hit by Hamas rocket attacks and massacres, Worthy News learned.
They have named their baby girl Be’eri, after an agricultural kibbutz close to Gaza, one of the first towns hit by Hamas on Saturday at the start of the deadliest Palestinian terror attack in Israel’s history.
Israeli media reported that the militants killed at least 100 people in Be’eri. The Israeli army said it intervened and killed up to 100 Hamas gunmen.
Many Israeli parents name their newborns after Be’eri as well as Nir and Oz, after the Nir Oz kibbutz, where Hamas fighters reportedly murdered an entire young family in their home.
Tamar Kedem Siman Tov; her husband, Yonatan (Johnny); her mother-in-law; two 6-year-old daughters, Shahar and Arbel; and son Omer, aged 4, at the Nir Oz kibbutz Israeli media reported.
