To Israel despite the war? Sana Kisilis says: “Now more than ever”

Rockets, knife attacks, bombs. Israel is a country at war – but more and more people are moving there. Like Sarah Kisilis.

The photographs on the fountain in Dizengoff Square in Tel Aviv are slowly fading in the sun. They have been there for more than eight months, showing the faces of those killed or kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

At that time, Sana Kisilis, 30, was still living in Berlin – and moved to Israel shortly afterwards. Despite that. Or rather: because of that. Now she walks past the photos every day and says: “October 7th made me feel even more that I want to go to Israel.”
