The article investigates Arab social workers’ development of intervention practices to cope with Arab service-users’ challenges in Israel, while the 7 October 2023 war ensued between Israel and the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. A qualitative study conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with fifteen Arab social workers working in Arab welfare bureaus in Israel. The research revealed that the professionals addressed the service-users’ needs and problems by applying two complementary strategies: (1) A universal strategy: working by themselves to realize rights (that were altered during the war) to respond to needs that had worsened, or recruiting advocacy services to actively realize newly defined rights for their clients’ needs stemming from side effects of the war. (2) An innovative/unique strategy: the revitalization of the traditional community-based support system on three levels: the micro-level, the natural support system such as the family; the meso-level, the informal support system in the form of the community; and the macro-level, the institutionalized support system including civil society institutions. Community-conscious intervention is a form of productive resistance to prolonged institutional deprivation. In other words, the conflict-ridden period offered an opportunity for the social workers’ professional development
