Up until Saturday, this was a working dairy farm right here.

It's the best dairy farm in Israel.

The climate here is amazing, it's very dry, even it's a hot, but it's very dry and it's good for the cow. And actually this area

is the best dairy farmers in the world. Hey listeners, it's Mishi. So as you know, during these

incredibly difficult days, we're trying to bring you voices we're hearing among and around us.

These aren't stories.

They're just quick conversations or postcards, really, that try to capture slivers of life

right now.

We're obviously not the only ones doing this kind of work.

Go to our website, IsraelStory.org, for a list of other

projects collecting wartime stories and testimonies. In any event, yesterday we heard

Moshe Dayan's eerily relevant 1956 eulogy for Roi-Rottberg of Nakhal Oz. And today we're

just 15 kilometers south of Nakhal Oz,

in Kibbutzki Sufim,

where we spent the day with dairy farmers,

busy evacuating the local cows.

Here's our producer, Mitch Ginsburg.

Okay, we're here in Kibbutzki Sofim,

alongside the bombed-out dairy shed.

Outside the fence just a few yards from us are a few motorcycles that were used by the Hamas terrorists who arrived here.

And I'm with somebody who's come down to lend the helping hand

very far away from where he lives and very near the Gaza border.
