An Iranian strike on the city of Beit Shemesh claimed the lives of nine people, devastating five families and leaving a community in mourning. Among the victims were members of a single family whose deaths have come to symbolize the profound human cost of the attack.

At the funeral, their father, Yitzhak, delivered a heart-wrenching eulogy, reflecting on generations of Jewish suffering and the sustaining power of faith. He invoked the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac, drawing a parallel to his own unbearable loss as he said he had bound his children, Yaakov, Avigail and Sarah, just as Abraham once bound Isaac.

He called upon the forefathers and foremothers to plead for redemption, expressing hope that the tragedy would mark a turning point for his people. The strike has left deep scars in Beit Shemesh, as families grapple with grief and a shattered sense of security.
