On October 7th, 2023, Hamas launched a brutal assault on Israel.
Without mercy or remorse, they murdered and kidnapped hundreds of innocent civilians, including babies, the elderly, women, and many kids.
They infiltrated peaceful towns, setting homes ablaze and subjecting families to the horrors of abduction, annihilation, and unfathomable variations of torture and cruelty.
They continued their massacre to a vibrant music festival, claiming the lives of hundreds of individuals. What started as an event dedicated to peace, joy, and music turned into a death trap of rape, terror, and death.
The attacks claimed the lives of more than 1,194 individuals, with 800 of the bodies confirmed as civilians. They left over 4,834 people wounded and resulted in more than 243 being taken hostage. Additionally, some bodies remain unidentified due to substantial mutilation.
Since October 7th, at least 21 hostages were murdered by Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, 1 hostage was released by the IDF, and 111 hostages were released in negotiations.
136 people are still being held hostage including a Kfir (who is 1 years old today) baby:
