About a quarter of kibbutz Nir Oz’s population was killed or kidnapped by Hamas on 7 October last year. Proportionally, nowhere in Israel was affected more.
Twelve months later, our Jerusalem correspondent, Bethan McKernan, travels down southern Israel to visit the settlement, just a few miles away from the Gaza Strip, to talk to survivors.
As she explains to Michael Safi, she finds not only grief but anger about the priorities of the Israeli government over the last year and the violence now spreading across the Middle East.
