Debra Messing Instagram – OOPS – now the video will work! I had the opportunity to embed with journalists and cross into Gaza to enter the enormous Hamas tunnel that was recently discovered. We entered at the border crossing used for Humanitarian assistance and for the 20,000 Palestinian people that enter Israel daily to go to work or for humanitarian support. We saw the hole in the gate through which the Hamas terrorists entered Israel 10/7. We walked down the crossing (where the hostages were released) and after about 20 minutes we came over a hill and there was this huge tunnel entrance. It was awe inspiring . I’ll do a post about the tunnel, soon. After we came out, we walked back to the border. We saw a fleet of tanks drive in a line toward us. @leekern13 had found beautiful yellow flowers and suggested we bring them to the soldiers. We did, and it was a wonderful interaction. What startled me, however, was how young the soldiers were. Babies. 18,19, 20 years old. Sweet young men. I thought “What are they doing here? Driving a huge metal whale? They should be home thinking about what they want to do with lives. Not here.” So many IDF soldiers have needlessly lost their lives defending their country from jihadists committed to driving all Jews into the Sea. But for 10/7, they would be alive. So many Palestinian civilians have needlessly lost their lives. But for 10/7 they would all still be alive. I am grateful to every IDF soldier who is committed to wiping out Hamas. I pray for their safety. I pray for peace. #gaza #idf #tunnel #israel
