Amidst bombs and war, there is also plenty of hatred in these towns. But there are also people on both sides who are trying to forge friendships across the hostile border.

Nonetheless, organizing and communicating by phone and social media, these friends have managed to hold events and rallies in both Sderot and Gaza, often at the risk of their very lives.
