Nature continues to take its course as Israel wages a war against the Hamas terror organization, with thousands of cranes having arrived at the Hula Valley in the north.

The cranes are joining flamingos, pelicans, and thousands of other birds who too migrate through Israel on their way to Africa.

"In these sad and complicated days, perhaps nature can bring comfort," Inbar Shlomit Rubin, who manages the site for KKL-JNF, said. "As every year, the migratory birds arrive at the nature reserve in the fall. It is one of the most important humid habitats in Israel, which is a critical stop for birds migrating between Europe and the African continent and back, both in terms of the wealth of food it offers to a variety of species and in terms of a safe haven for the birds during the long journey."

Thousands more cranes are expected to travel through the Hula Valley nature reserve in the coming weeks, which is closed to the public due to the war. Some cranes will remain in the nature reserve throughout winter.
