Anyone entering Kibbutz Be’eri these days can’t escape the feeling of being inside a giant construction site: workers, tractors, the pounding of hammers, and clouds of dust everywhere.

At the local cemetery, a commemorative wall is under construction – a reminder of the massacre that lies beneath the frenzy of rebuilding.
