The last few days have been emotional for families living in Israel, especially those in communities close to the Gaza border, which are constantly in range of Hamas rockets attacks. A fun event for children from Tkuma (a town seven kilometers from the Gaza border) took place in Jerusalem on Thursday. It was organized by the official Israeli 501st outpost, Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, and the Jerusalem municipality. The event hosted over 80 children and their parents.
