Thousands of olim and other Israelis are facing severe difficulties in obtaining entry permits for their parents, children or siblings to enter the country for important life-cycle events, while hundreds are missing flights or are forced to reschedule without knowing when such a permit might come. These difficulties come as the government has increased restrictions and regulations for those entering the country due to the resurgence of COVID-19 in Israel and abroad, in an attempt to halt foreign nationals who may be infected from entering the country.

Its still too early to know whether the soldiers who raced after a pickup truck carrying a man and three children and shot deadly fire at it will receive backing from their commanders, or whether theyll be punished in some way and if so, how. Will a punishment be imposed simply to cover military rear ends, or to make the value of a Palestinian childs life clear to all soldiers?
