Gaza border communities exceed pre-Oct. 7 population levels
Original: Gaza border communities surge 10% above pre-Oct. 7 population
Communities near the Gaza border in southern Israel have reportedly grown to 10% above their population levels before the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. The figures suggest residents are returning and new families are moving in despite the trauma of the assault and the war that followed. Observers see the growth as a statement of resilience and recovery in the region hardest hit by the attack.
Why now: Population recovery in the area attacked on October 7 is being read as a sign of resilience nearly two years after the Hamas assault.
