oct 31, 1917 - Beersheba battle

Description:

"Beersheba was intrinsic to Israel's beginning, so it would again be intrinsic to the beginning of Israel's restoration. As it was the first place in the land to be claimed for Abraham and his children, the first to be taken away by others, and the first to be restored... so after two thousand years of exile Beersheba would also be the first place to be reclaimed and returned to Abraham's childrin"
-- Cahn,J. The Oracle (2019), pg.80
