Read the narration
7 October 2023
It was Shabbat and the holiday of Simchat Torah. Near Kibbutz Re’im, thousands were dancing at the Nova music festival.
At 6:29 a.m., rockets rose from Gaza.Thousands were fired that day.
The invasion
Under the barrage, more than 5,500 gunmen crossed into Israel through 114 breaches in the border fence.Hamas led the assault. Israeli media later reported Captagon, an amphetamine, found on attackers’ bodies.
Gunmen came upon the festival by chance and hunted the crowd as it fled. They murdered 378 people there and on nearby roads.Forty-four were dragged into Gaza. Hamas’s plans had named other targets, an IDF investigation found.
Route 232
In a roadside shelter packed with festivalgoers, Aner Shapira, 22, threw seven grenades back out before he was killed.
Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, lost his left arm below the elbow. Gunmen loaded him onto a pickup truck bound for Gaza.
The kibbutzim
In the border communities, families hid in safe rooms built to withstand rockets. Gunmen set houses on fire to force them out.
Kibbutz Nir Oz lost one resident in four, murdered or kidnapped.
Filmed and posted
At 6:57 a.m., attackers posted images of Bracha Levinson’s body on her own Facebook page. Her family watched in real time.Bracha Levinson, 75, Kibbutz Nir Oz. Source: Kan 7.10.360
In Mefalsim, a gunman called his parents in Gaza on a murdered woman’s phone. His mother answered: “Oh my son, God bless you.”
The dead
About 1,200 people were killed that day, most of them civilians. It was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
Scaled to the population of the United States, that toll would be about 41,000 people, nearly fourteen times 9/11.
Among the dead were Muslim Bedouin citizens of Israel, Thai farmworkers, Nepali students and Filipino caregivers.Seventy of the civilians murdered were foreign nationals, according to Israel’s National Insurance Institute.
The evidence
Many bodies were burned or mutilated beyond recognition. Israel’s chief forensic pathologist found that some victims were tortured, and some were burned alive.
Sexual violence
Rape crisis centers in Israel documented sexual violence at the festival, in kibbutzim and villages, at army bases and in captivity.“Silent Cry,” Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel, February 2024
In 2025, the Dinah Project concluded that Hamas used sexual violence systematically, as a weapon of war.The project heard from 15 freed hostages, 13 women and two men. Romi Gonen and Rom Braslavski later spoke publicly of abuse in captivity.
Dead or in Gaza
Emily Hand, 8, was reported killed in Be’eri. Her father called it the best news possible, since captivity would be worse. Weeks later, he learned she was alive in Gaza.
Shani Louk’s mother believed her daughter was alive in a Gaza hospital. A bone fragment later confirmed she was dead.
Eli Sharabi spent 491 days in captivity. On the release stage, Hamas asked whether he looked forward to seeing his wife and daughters.
In the army vehicle, a soldier told him they had been murdered on October 7.Lianne Sharabi and her daughters, Noiya and Yahel. His brother Yossi was killed in captivity.
251 hostages
Hamas took 251 people into Gaza, from a baby of nine months to elders in their eighties.
Hostages were starved and beaten. In August 2025, Hamas released video of an emaciated Evyatar David digging what he called his own grave.Evyatar David came home alive on 13 October 2025.
Children
Thirty-eight children were murdered on October 7. The youngest hostage, Kfir Bibas, was nine months old. His brother Ariel was four.
Hamas claimed an Israeli airstrike had killed the boys and their mother, Shiri. Israeli forensic findings showed the captors had killed Ariel and Kfir with their bare hands.
Hamas held the bodies for 15 months, then returned them in a staged ceremony, with another woman’s body in Shiri’s coffin.Shiri Bibas’s remains were handed over the next day.
The six
By August 2024, Hersh and five other hostages were held together in a tunnel beneath Rafah.
As Israeli troops drew near, the captors shot all six at close range.Soldiers found their bodies in the tunnel on 31 August 2024.
Hamas then released videos it had filmed of the hostages, and confirmed its guards had orders for when soldiers approach.
Everyone in reach
Muslim Bedouin citizens of Israel were kidnapped too. Youssef Ziyadne and his son Hamza, taken while tending cows, were killed in captivity.
At Kibbutz Alumim, Nepali student Bipin Joshi threw a grenade back out of a shelter, saving his friends. Hamas took him to Gaza and murdered him there.Ten of the 17 Nepali students at Alumim were killed that morning.
Hatred of Jews drove the attack. Its violence engulfed everyone within reach.
Hidden among civilians
In February 2024, Israeli troops found a Hamas data center 18 meters beneath UNRWA’s Gaza headquarters, running on the agency’s electricity.UNRWA is the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. Freed hostage Emily Damari later said Hamas held her in UNRWA facilities.
Three hostages rescued in June 2024 had been held in the Nuseirat home of Abdallah Aljamal, a writer for the Palestine Chronicle who had contributed to Al Jazeera.His father was a physician. The IDF identified Aljamal as a Hamas operative.
Hamas hid its war inside respected institutions and ordinary homes.
Fueled by antisemitism
The founding charter Hamas wrote in 1988 quotes a hadith calling for the killing of Jews.Hamas is an Islamist movement. Islamism is a political ideology, distinct from Islam.
Fueling antisemitism
Antisemitic incidents hit records in the United States and Britain. British monitors found the surge began as celebration of the massacre.ADL audits, 2022–2025 · Community Security Trust, 2023
Antisemitic attacks have since taken lives in Washington and Boulder, at a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur and at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach.
The case
Hamas began this war on October 7. Two weeks later, its official Ghazi Hamad promised to repeat the attack.LBC TV, Lebanon, 24 October 2023
Every nation owes its people protection from such a force. The war to eliminate Hamas is justified.
Three years on, Hamas has kept its weapons. “We are not talking about handing them over,” one of its leaders said in June 2026.Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies estimates Hamas has rebuilt to about 30,000 armed men.
In memory
Ran Gvili, a police officer killed fighting at Kibbutz Alumim, was the last hostage returned, on day 843. Of the 251 taken, 85 came home only to be buried.
We remember the Jewish and non-Jewish lives taken, and the many lives left shattered.

Accuracy notes
- Toll. “About 1,200” is the figure Israel uses for 7 October. The National Insurance Institute counts 778 civilians murdered that day, 70 of them foreign nationals; security personnel make up most of the rest.
- Per-capita comparison. 1,200 ÷ 9.8 million Israelis × 335 million Americans ≈ 41,000, which is 13.8 times the 2,977 killed on 9/11. The film rounds this to “nearly fourteen times.”
- Rockets. The film says “thousands.” IDF data cite about 3,900 rockets and mortars; I kept the rounder word because that figure may include more than the one day.
- Captagon. Israeli outlets reported pills found on attackers’ bodies and on captured gunmen. Captagon is an amphetamine-type stimulant, so the film calls it an amphetamine. Some outlets questioned how widespread its use was, and the caption attributes the claim to Israeli media.
- Nova. The IDF found the festival was absent from Hamas’s target list. The 378 dead include civilians and security personnel killed at the site and on the roads around it.
- Route 232 on the map. The road line and community dots are placed approximately. A small label on the map says so.
- Bracha Levinson. The time 6:57 a.m. and “her family watched in real time” come from Kan’s 7.10.360 reconstruction.
- The phone call. Lines come from the IDF’s English translation. The caller’s brother calls him Mahmoud; he is unnamed in the film.
- Sexual violence. The film relies on the two Israeli reports and on survivors who have spoken publicly. A 2024 UN mission led by Pramila Patten reached compatible conclusions; it is omitted here.
- Emily Hand. Her father was told she had been killed; on 31 October 2023 he learned she was probably alive in Gaza. She was released on 25 November 2023.
- Shani Louk. A bone fragment confirmed her death on 30 October 2023. Her body was recovered from Gaza in May 2024.
- Eli Sharabi. Times of Israel counts 491 days; some outlets say 490, depending on whether both end days are counted.
- Hostage totals. The IDF counts 168 returned alive and 87 returned dead, including four people held since before October 7 (Hadar Goldin, Oron Shaul, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed). Removing those four gives 166 alive and 85 dead out of the 251 taken on October 7.
- Day 843. Ran Gvili’s body came home on 26 January 2026. That is 842 days after 7 October 2023, or day 843 when October 7 counts as day one, which is how Israeli outlets and the film count it.
- The Bibas family. Hamas made its airstrike claim in late November 2023. The IDF’s statement of 21 February 2025, based on forensic findings, says Ariel and Kfir were killed by hand no later than November 2023. On 20 February 2025, Hamas handed over another woman’s body; Shiri’s remains followed the next day.
- The six. Autopsies found they were shot at close range one to two days before soldiers found them on 31 August 2024. Hamas released videos of several of them on 2 and 5 September 2024.
- The Ziyadne family. Youssef and Hamza Ziyadne’s remains were recovered from a tunnel in Rafah in January 2025. Bilal and Aisha were released in November 2023.
- Bipin Joshi. His family says he was murdered in captivity. His body was returned in October 2025.
- UNRWA. The IDF announced the tunnel and data center on 10 February 2024. UNRWA said it had left the compound early in the war and knew nothing of what lay beneath it. Emily Damari’s account was relayed by her mother after a call with the British prime minister; a UN official later said he had seen no evidence of UN staff holding hostages.
- Aljamal. The IDF called Abdallah Aljamal a Hamas operative. Al Jazeera denied employing him and later acknowledged past freelance contributions. His father, Dr. Ahmed Aljamal, was a physician, according to Palestinian reports carried by Ynet.
- Antisemitism figures. ADL U.S. counts: 3,697 (2022), 8,873 (2023), 9,354 (2024) and 6,274 (2025). CST counted 4,103 incidents in Britain in 2023 and said the rise “appeared, at least initially, to reflect a celebration of Hamas’ attacks.”
- Attacks abroad. Washington, 21 May 2025 (two Israeli embassy staff killed); Boulder, 1 June 2025 (one woman later died of her injuries); Manchester, 2 October 2025 (two worshippers died, one of them hit by police fire while the door was held shut); Bondi Beach, 14 December 2025 (15 killed). The caption says “taken lives” because the victims included non-Jews.
- Hamas’s weapons. A disarmament framework was announced on 30 July 2026. As of 7 October 2026, reporting describes it as stalled. The 30,000 figure is an INSS estimate from August 2026.
- Left out on purpose. Early claims that were later retracted or left unsupported, such as the claims of 40 beheaded babies and of a baby placed in an oven.
