I'm thrilled that the hostages are home but I feel angry that so many people are like "well that's it", as though there aren't people in the Otef, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, who've been living with hell for years, and there seems precious little care for what they will go through if Hamas is allowed to reset everything to October 6th.

Like they took down the big concrete barrier which overshadowed Nahal Oz, because now Hamas has been taken care of, that's what our soldiers have been doing, avodat kodesh in destroying the vipers nest Hamas built in Gaza. But what happens next?

With all the hoopla over "The Deal" I don't hear people saying well what does this mean for people living in the Otef? What does it mean for Israel in general? With Muslim Brotherhood affiliated Qatari money and Muslim Brotherhood affiliated Turkish contractors, what safeguards that Hamas (or a clone) won't just rebuild and start the whole thing over again?

Because Tzahal hasn't had a chance to do everything that needed doing. Just the other week I was in the area and a local guy pointed out to me places where they knew there were still tunnels but he wasn't sure if due to the ceasefire Tzahal would still have the chance to blow them up. Officially part of Hamas disarming is also the dismantling of their terror infrastructure, including destroying remaining terror tunnels, weapons workshops and so on.

Can we rely on whomever is supposed to be enforcing the deal that this will actually happen? What does it mean for Israel if it doesn't? It's wonderful that most of the hostages have been released, but we also need to look at the bigger picture of the war and our country's security, if all the big words are not enforced then nothing has changed and the sacrifice of our soldiers has been squandered to invite Muslim Brotherhood states like Qatar and Turkey to restore the Hamas "balance of terror" threatening Israel.

I know it sounds terrible but I meet so many people in the Otef who feel forgotten. They are desperate for all the hostages to come home, but I've met too many who've said to me that the only thing people in the merkaz seem to care about is the hostages, not whether Hamas is no longer a threat and they still have to raise their children in fortified gannim (literally fortified gannim).

No one has been marching in the streets demanding safety and security for Netiv Haasara or Nirim and if you even dare to raise concerns that are not the hostages then no one wants to hear or they accuse you of being a heartless b@!ch who doesn't care about the hostages. It makes me angry because the writing is on the wall but most people do not want to see. This deal is only as good as the enforcement of the grand promises made to guarantee Israeli security.

All of the hostages, alive and dead, were supposed to be home by now according to the deal, there are still hostage bodies held in Gaza (as far as I know), while Hamas is flexing its muscles (and guns) everywhere that the IDF has withdrawn from. This is greatly concerning. That is what is on my mind.
