My outline itinerary - 4 passengers 2,000₪ ie 500₪ /person
5 passengers 2,200₪ ie 440₪ /person
includes:

🥀 Pick-up & drop-off at your location. •Water •Snacks •A souvenir of your tour

🥀 first stop Kibbutz Yad Mordechai to learn the history, geography & strategic importance of the Gaza Envelope; view the Mordechai Anielewicz Monument, the armoured vehicle that evacuated the kibbutz children in the 1948 "Operation Baby", the grave of the ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ Colonel Władysław Kowalski.

🥀 2nd stop Moshav Nativ Ha’asara - closest civilian community to Gaza - where you will hear about the attack by terrorists using paragliders.

🥀 3rd stop: Observation Point at Nahal Oz Base; lookout built in memory of 16 young observers murdered on October 7, 2023.

🥀 4th stop, lunch at Kibbutz Alumim; follow the route taken by the terrorists, hear the story of Bipin Joshi, the heroic Nepalese worker taken hostage, & my own tragic loss of a dear family friend.

🥀 5th stop outside Kibbutz Be’eri, one of the communities hardest hit during the deadly attack, with 102 people murdered & 32 kidnapped into Gaza. You will hear several stories of the horrors that families suffered that day.

🥀 8th stop: Shuva Achim Rest Station, an inspiring volunteer hub for soldiers; meet active-duty soldiers & express your support. (If you would like to make a financial donation to the rest stop, or bring gifts for the soldiers, this is the perfect place to do so).
