Overview

Journey from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv to the Gaza border and visit areas affected by the October 7th events. Stop at Kobe’s Hill lookout point and then watch a short film at the Sderot Police Station. In Nahal Oz, learn about moments of courage and loss, honoring the fallen “female observers”. Visit Re’im, once the Nova Festival site, now a memorial, and see roadside bomb shelters where locals sought safety. Pause in Netivot or Sderot for lunch, and end with some quiet reflection at the infamous parking lot of torched cars.

The tour is guided by local experts who ensure a sensitive and respectful experience, allowing visitors to learn, reflect, and bear witness to a pivotal moment in Israel’s recent history.
