Well, Kfar Aza is about one mile away from the city of Gaza, maybe a mile and a half away from city of Gaza.

And back then, in the '80s, uh, there were a lot of people working in, in the kibbutz in Kfar Aza.
17:30
We were going there, buying bicycles, eating hummus, you know, all the clichés that used to say about, uh, the neighborhood between Gaza and Kfar Aza.
17:42
Uh, it all stopped in the year of two thousand, two thousand and one, um, right after the f- the Second Intifada began, and there were no more connection, no more, um, people working in Kfar Aza, but they always remained my neighbors.
18:03
I never forgot that.
