Kerem Shalom
Kerem Shalom (, "Vineyard of Peace") is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located on the Tripoint, triple Gaza Strip-Israel-Egypt border, it falls under the jurisdiction of Eshkol Regional Council. In it had a population of . History The kibbutz was established in 1967 by members of Hashomer Hatzair, a socialist-Zionist youth movement. The name "Kerem Shalom" is Hebrew and translates to "Vineyard of Peace." The founders chose this name with the hope that the kibbutz would play a role in establishing peace and ending the Arab–Israeli conflict. ''Haaretz'' described it as "a small community with a communal-secular way of life, which marks holidays and holds culture evenings together and observes total mutual responsibility - in education, culture, health and its economy." According to Ilan Regev, the community manager, "the kibbutz, which was founded in 1967, fell apart in 1995, after members left, but in 2001, it was reestablished."

Hamad City
Hamad City or Hamad Town (; ) is an apartment complex and neighbourhood in northwestern Khan Yunis, Gaza Strip, Palestine. Named after its benefactor, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani of Qatar, the complex was envisioned as a housing solution for middle to lower-income Palestinian families. In 2024, Hamad City was the scene of a battle in the Gaza war. Many buildings in the complex were destroyed as a result of the war. Background One of the outcomes of the Gaza Strip's long conflict with Israel was a perennial housing crisis. As a result of the 1948 Palestine war, many of the 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were forcibly expelled from their homes arrived in the Gaza Strip as refugees. After Hamas's rise to power in 2007, an Israeli-imposed blockade of the Gaza Strip severely limited the importation of building materials. Military operations in 2009 and 2012 rendered 70,000 housing units uninhabitable. In addition to these challenges, the United Nations found that population d ...

Deaths By Firearm In Israel
Death is the end of life; the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Death eventually and inevitably occurs in all organisms. The remains of a former organism normally begin to decompose shortly after death. Some organisms, such as ''Turritopsis dohrnii'', are biologically immortal; however, they can still die from means other than aging. Death is generally applied to whole organisms; the equivalent for individual components of an organism, such as cells or tissues, is necrosis. Something that is not considered an organism, such as a virus, can be physically destroyed but is not said ''to die'', as a virus is not considered alive in the first place. As of the early 21st century, 56 million people die per year. The most common reason is aging, followed by cardiovascular disease, which is a disease that affects the heart or blood vessels. As of 2022, an estimated total of almost 110 billion humans have died, or roughly 94% of a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Following the implementation of the Gaza disengagement plan in 2005, its members were offered to vacate the entire place in exchange for compensation, so that Shomria could be offered as a new home for settlers evacuated from the Gaza Strip.
