Gili Roman rushes through the house, steps over rubble, points to broken furniture and torn clothes, picks up one of the books scattered on the floor. The 35-year-old Israeli leads a tour of what remains of his family’s house on Kibbutz Be’eri: More than 100 people died there in the Hamas attack. Gili Roman shows the tiny shelter of the house where his relatives barricaded themselves for a few hours until the terrorists banged on the door and there was no point in holding out any longer. He goes into the destroyed living room and bedrooms. He tenderly touches the teddy bear that the militants’ military boots have trodden in the dirt – it belongs to his niece.
