HOLIT, Israel—The wall was blackened where a rocket-propelled grenade punched a hole into Moshe Ridler’s bungalow.
“Then they threw a hand grenade into the room, to make sure he was dead,” said Eli Hazen, a volunteer collecting bodies in Holit, a kibbutz two kilometres from Gaza.
Ridler was 91, he said, and a survivor of the Holocaust.
“That Holocaust,” Hazen clarified. “He did not survive this Holocaust.”
