During this one day tour leaving from Tel Aviv we will drive along the Gaza border with Israel and stop by major sites hit by the 7.10 brutal attack. Among those places we will enter a village litteraly on the fence where many members were murdered during the attack. On the way we will learn about the "Migunit", those protective shelters that became death trap for many civilians. We will be at the Nahal Oz Observers Memorial Monument remembering the 16 female soldiers who fell on duty and 37 soldiers who fought until the last bullet. The Reim Nova Festival Victims Memorial will be a special moment of the tour as 400 young people were brutally murdered by palestinian Hamas. Finally we will stop at the Burnt Vehicles Compound were a pile of 1,600 burnt car testify of the extent of the massacre along Route 232.
During two years I tried to document some of the events from the first days following the attack until recently with the release of the 20 last hostages. Below are video movies I made during that period.
Kibbutz Beeri. As a former reporter I was able to enter Beeri kibbutz few days after the massacre and document as much as possible.
During two years families and israelis hundreds of thousands of civilians gathered every week demanding the release of the hostages. One of those events soon after 7.10 was particularly emotional when members of Kfar Aza kibbutz in TLV in the place of the hostages acted the brutal event, while many of them did endure it and members of the family had been killed, enjured and abducted.
In June 2025, war broke out between Iran and Israel: the Twelve-Day War.
I spent sixty hours on the ground documenting the Iranian missile strikes targeting civilian areas across Israel. Through my reporting, I showed that these missiles struck people from diverse backgrounds, without distinction of origin, religion, or community — because in the face of missiles, blood makes no distinction.
The last hostages back Home. Rare are moments if ever in life when the people of a nation as a whole vibrates as one heart, last monday on the eve of Simchat Torah holyday, literally the Joy of the Torah, such day did happen in Israel as the 20 last hostages still alive were released on October 13. Two years of despair, suffering and hope transformed in an outburst of national joy. For 24 hours all internal disagreement left place to pure happiness and emotion.
