A year later, social media keeps the memory of October 7 victims alive

In today's digital age, many turn to videos and posts to express grief and remembrance; as we mark one year since Israel's worst massacre, Israelis remind the world we are still living that day, with hostages yet to return and their mourning far from over

Exactly one year ago, Israel experienced one of the most horrific and shocking days in its history. In the early morning hours of October 7, the terror organization Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israeli communities near the Gaza border, carrying out the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. To this day, 101 hostages remain in captivity.
Since the attack, Israel has faced a significant challenge in the battle of public opinion on social media, a challenge that grew as the fighting continued and images from Gaza flooded the internet. The country has put considerable effort into sharing accurate information and exposing the atrocities of terrorism to the international community. Prominent citizens and public figures from Israel and around the world have joined these efforts.
