Just 48 hours before he was killed by a Hezbollah anti-tank missile, Ofer "Pushko" Moskowitz, the agricultural manager and spokesperson of Kibbutz Misgav Am, gave a haunting radio interview describing the atmospheric tension on Israel’s northern border.
In an interview Friday with Radio Haifa, Moskowitz spoke candidly about the "disappointment" and fear felt by residents living under the constant threat of Hezbollah fire.
"I Want Peace in My Home"
"I feel like we are living in a game of Russian Roulette," Moskowitz told hosts Inbar Dotan and Eli Levi on the program Zira Hofshia. "I want to have peace in my home. I want my new grandson, born just this week, to sit with me on my balcony and feel safe."
During the interview, Moskowitz expressed profound disillusionment with the security situation following the recent ceasefire. "People I trusted told me face-to-face that 'there is no Hezbollah' [on the border]. A day after the ceasefire began, I looked out from an observation point and saw a black vehicle with four people putting up a Hezbollah flag," he said with visible pain.
