KKL-JNF’s watch tower in Be’eri Forest was heavily damaged by Hamas terrorists during the October 7th attacks. We must restore it and ensure that our forests are protected again, and that the scars of war are removed from our beloved land.
The Beeri Watch Tower, located in the southern region of Israel near the Gaza Strip, has long stood as a crucial part Israel’s defense and environmental preservation. Operated by Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael – Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) foresters, this tower serves as a sentinel, watching over the forests for signs of fire and other threats. The tower’s strategic position has been instrumental in safeguarding the surrounding communities and natural landscapes.
Disastrously, during the October 7th brutal attacks, the Beeri Watch Tower was heavily damaged by Hamas terrorists. This malicious act not only targeted our infrastructure but also struck at the heart of our efforts to protect and nurture the Land of Israel.
The damage inflicted on the tower has significantly hampered our ability to monitor and respond to potential fire hazards in the nearby forests, putting both the environment and local residents at risk.
Restoring the Beeri Watch Tower is not just about rebuilding a structure; it is about reinstating a vital line of defense. Fires in this region can spread rapidly, threatening homes, wildlife, and the ecological balance. The watch tower enables our foresters to detect fires early, coordinate rapid responses, and prevent catastrophic damage. Without this crucial vantage point, our ability to protect the forests and the communities that depend on them is severely compromised.
Furthermore, restoring the Beeri Watch Tower is not just about rebuilding a structure; it is about healing the scars of war inflicted on the region during the attacks. Part of the rehabilitation process includes clearing the area of any signs of war. The tower, which stands tall amid the forests, must be restored to its previous glory.
