They shot through the door inside. Whoever was in here was killed. They lit the houses. You can see you can see here. And most of the houses are on fire because they try to get to the to the kids and the women. In the bombshell out. Eventually they had to open the window and thats where they they were killed. Just over 400 people live in neros at least 160 of them wound up either killed or kidnaped, stowed away with the other hostages somewhere in gaza, which is so close to the kibbutz.

As the war rages on, bay area residents are trying to keep up with family members in israel and in gaza. For palestinian americans, its becoming increasingly harder because power is cut to all of the gaza strip. Abc7 News Reporter anser hassan spoke to some locals who say theyre trying to remain optimistic that their family members will stay alive into. Rami sultan recorded the last phone call he had with his cousin who lives in gaza right now. The people of gaza have no spokespeople. They have no witnesses. Its a situation where you have to choose between what way youre going to die. Rami, who works in high tech in silicon valley, says 500 of his family members had to walk almost 20 miles, fleeing israeli airstrikes in northern gaza, taking refuge in unrun schools who, ramis cousin tells him they dont have food, they dont have water, they dont have money. My cousin explained to me that its not safe. Its just somewhat less dangerous. Theyre trying their best to live. Theyre trying their best to live. Rami recorded the conversation in to have an eyewitness account of whats happening on the ground and to serve as the family archive. If they dont survive. My cousin conveyed that they had given up on human rights and the concept of human rights with respect to them being applied to their situation and i want the world to know is that were human. Our lives, my familys lives are just as valuable as israeli lives. So it is very important for us to remember our humanity that this is not a political issue and that this is a humanitarian issue. Colette ghonim is a filmmaker who lives in San Francisco. Her first feature length film traces of home, traces her palestinian fathers journey back to his childhood home in what is now israel, which he was forced to flee. My father is definitely a refugee. He was removed in 1948 with the catastrophe, the nakba. Her family is safe, but her concerns remain around the deteriorating conditions on the ground in gaza. As a filmmaker, she is encouraged by the role of social media having people that are not palestinian get to create their own opinions and be informed of what is happening. Um, really feels like it is. It is shifting the narrative to understand what is actually transpiring because israel cut power to the gaza strip. Cell phones dont work. So rami doesnt know if his family is still alive, but he remains faithful in our small strip of land that we live in, we wont give up. We show that we will continue to resist it just by living anser hassan. Abc seven news. And we will continue to keep you updated on whats happening in israel, gaza and here at home on this story.

Some former commissioners say they forced bass to remove shannon. They filed a lawsuit to get shannon replaced based on what they believe are financial and ethical conflicts of interest. Bass told the news site oaklandside that the lawsuit played no role in her decision on a tentative agreement. Tonight between teachers and the San FranciscoUnified School District will avert a possible strike. The two sides have been negotiating since march. Abc seven News Reporter loose pena with a look at the deal. After more than 12 hours, San Francisco teachers and the School District reached. We have a deal. A tentative deal. But to get here, both sides began bargaining sessions at 5 p. M. Thursday. That extended all the way into friday morning. Jeffrey finger, a math teacher at balboa high school, was part of the Bargaining Committee when we met him. He had only gotten 30 minutes of sleep. Were proud of what we were able to accomplish with this tentative agreement. Were hoping that the union rallies around it. Among the proposal was an economic package that includes a 9,000 Salary Increase for teachers in the 2023 to 2024 school year. Teachers will also receive an additional 5 raise for the 2024, 2025 school year, which will be in full effect by january of 2025. Initially the united educators of San Francisco were asking for more. We came in initially asking for 12,000 for the first year and 8. And again, that those might sound like large numbers, but those numbers are very much in par with, frankly, what has been 20 inflation over the last three years. The tentative agreement includes Worker Protections and higher compensation for parents, educators. They have been paid history, horrifically low amounts in some in many cases, amounts that that would frankly lead them to go to other other jobs. This raised the floor from 18 an hour for them all the way up to 30 an hour. Now, whats next . Well, there will be several town halls where teachers will get to ask questions. And in about two weeks or so, teachers will be asked to vote. After that, the board will actually take action and vote on the final agreement. This agreement was vital to prevent the possibility of San Franciscos First Teacher strike since 1979. The big joy for me is that we were able to avoid a strike and we were able to kind of find a middle ground that really prioritized Student Learning and Student Outcomes as ll as what our educators need. According to the sfusd board president , this agreement will also likely help with a proposed 1 billion school bond. It just allows for our whole School Community to come together and be focused on what it will take to make sure were able to successfully get the funds to improve our schools in San Francisco, luis pena, abc seven news.
