<\/p>\nA KIND-HEARTED peace activist slaughtered by Hamas on October 7 has sent a message of hope to children across Israel from beyond the grave.<\/p>\n
Child trauma expert Lilach Kipnis, 60, wrote a book to help kids cope with the constant stress of war in Israel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She also campaigned to bring together Israeli and Palestinian communities – but was ruthlessly cut down by Hamas hordes on October 7 among 100 victims in the Be\u2019eri kibbutz.<\/p>\n
Now, copies of her beautifully illustrated book \u201cSounds That Shock\u201d are being distributed to youngsters across Israel with the backing of Israeli president Isaac Herzog.<\/p>\n
And every copy will be printed on a press in Be\u2019eri – which miraculously survived the carnage in which a tenth of its 1,100-strong population died.<\/p>\n
The once-idyllic community is just two miles from Gaza and children living there grew up amid the constant threat of Hamas rockets.<\/p>\n
Lilach\u2019s 64 year-old brother Aviv Havron – who has had six family members kidnapped then freed by Hamas – told The Sun: \u201cLilach was born in the kibbutz and dedicated her whole life to helping people – especially children.<\/p>\n \u201cShe realised that the incredible stress caused to people who live under constant threat all of the time.<\/p>\n \u201cSo she wrote a book to help children cope when they hear the constant sirens and alarms warning that a rocket is coming.<\/p>\n \u201cChildren in Be\u2019eri and other kibbutz communities know that once the alarm sounds you have a matter of seconds to take cover because Gaza is so close.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe book tells them that it is best not to live in constant fear – because the alerts do not last long and life goes on.<\/p>\n \u201cIt reassures them that everything will be ok and that one day things will get better and we will live in peace.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is crazy to me that this wonderful woman who tries her whole life to bring people together should be murdered.<\/p>\n \u201cShe has Palestinian friends who have not stopped crying since she was killed – it is awful but hopefully the book will be her legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n Israeli writer Aviv will be among family members invited to Mr Herzog\u2019s residence for the launch of the book tomorrow on Tuesday. <\/p>\n More than 150,000 copies of the book will be distributed throughout Israel with copies of the weekend edition of the nation\u2019s bestselling paper Yediot Aharonot on Friday.<\/p>\n Aviv added: \u201cIt is actually quite sad that this book will be so useful to so many of our young people facing the trauma of war every day of their lives.<\/p>\n \u201cHopefully it will not always be like this.\u201d<\/p>\n The six members of Aviv\u2019s extended family freed on Saturday included a soccer-mad schoolboy who spent 50 days cowering in Hamas terror tunnels.<\/p>\n Naveh Shoham, eight, spent 50 days in the hell of Gaza with his three-year-old sister Yehal and their mum Adi, 38 – but has bounced back by having a kickabout, Aviv told The Sun.<\/p>\n The ball was one of the few fragments of the happy lad\u2019s old life to remain intact when Hamas savages destroyed his family home in Be\u2019eri.<\/p>\n Aviv said: \u201cIt was wonderful to see Naveh playing football again.<\/p>\n \u201cThe family\u2019s home was destroyed on October 7 and they were all taken to Gaza, but Neveh\u2019s grandfather found his football in the garden outside.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was one of the few of the family\u2019s possessions found intact and his grandfather kept it for him in the hope that he might play with it again.<\/p>\n \u201cNaveh was thrilled when he saw it and it was marvellous to see him kicking his ball and behaving normally after such an experience.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile he was in Gaza it became well known how much he loved football and we were sent many football shirts – including English Premiership shirts – from kind people supporting us.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re doing our best to get all of the children back to something like normality – we have been reading stories to Yehal and she seems happy.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we also accept that all of their lives will never be the same after what happened and they will need a lot of care and support.<\/p>\n \u201cThey will all be receiving trauma counselling and a lot of professional help and they will need time to heal.<\/p>\n \u201dAll we can give them are hugs.\u201d<\/p>\n Aviv\u2019s sister Shoshan Haran – Neveh and Yehal\u2019s 67-year-old gran – was also freed with Shoshan\u2019s sister-in-law Sharon Avigdori, 52, and her daughter, Noam, 12.<\/p>\n Shoshan\u2019s husband Avshalom died in the horror along with her and Lilach Kipnis and her husband Evyatar, 65.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/newspress-collage-qrlj6e5y9-1701091971240.jpg\")
