NextImg:Daily Briefing Oct. 23: Day 383 – Two soldiers buried, neither one Jewish, both minorities

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.

Reporters Sue Surkes and Diana Bletter join host Jessica Steinberg for today’s episode.

Surkes discusses the funerals of Druze commander Ehsan Daqsa, one of the most senior officers killed in Gaza, and Elishai Young, 19, a combat soldier from the Hebrew Israelites community in Dimona. Both were members of minority populations in Israel that grapple with societal acceptance who gave their lives to Israel.

Bletter speaks about recent scientific research that looks at the effects of alcohol intake as opposed to psychedelics on Nova survivors suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder following the massacre on October 7.

She also talks about a visit to Klil, a northern hippie hamlet that isn’t connected to the country’s electricity grid, and therefore residents can’t hear sirens warning of incoming rocket attacks.

Surkes reviews her report on planned budget cuts to the Agriculture Ministry, even though the ministry had intended to invest in Israel’s food security, as war has exposed Israel’s need for food independence without reliance on imports.
