After the IDF mistakenly killed her son in Gaza, Yotam Haim's mother chose forgiveness and hope

Assessment
Iris Haim's choice to channel grief into a project named after her son, Beit Yotam, marks a personal turn from tragedy toward constructive legacy. The story highlights how a family member of an Israeli soldier killed by friendly fire navigates loss without public bitterness. What remains to be seen is whether this model of forgiveness gains broader traction in a society still processing the war's costs.
