British-Israeli hoping for normality in 2024 following ‘massacre’
A British-Israeli has said he is hoping for life to “go back to normal” in 2024 following a year which he described as a “massacre” after Hamas militants stormed his kibbutz on October 7.
Simon King, 59, relocated to Kibbutz Be’eri in southern Israel in 1984, where he lived with his wife, Zehavit King, 51, and his two sons aged 13 and 14, and worked as a landscape gardener.
Mr King and his family members were evacuated to a hotel following the Hamas attacks, which left him, his wife and one of his sons trapped in their safe room for 36 hours until they were freed by Israeli forces.
