It’s a powerful way to witness the reality behind the headlines and honor the lives that were lost.
What to Expect
This powerful day tour takes you to the heart of the events that unfolded on October 7, 2023.
We’ll begin with pickup from your hotel and drive to the southwestern region of Israel, known as the Gaza Envelope. Our first stop is the Nova Music Festival site, where hundreds of innocent lives were lost in a brutal attack. From there, we’ll visit nearby kibbutzim that were also targeted, and see public security shelters where many sought safety but were tragically killed.
Next, we’ll visit the city of Sderot and the site of the police station where a heroic battle took place. We'll also stop at a lookout point with a view into Gaza, offering a clearer picture of the area’s geography and challenges. Along the way, we’ll pass by a yishuv where hundreds of burned and damaged vehicles stand as a memorial to those lost. We’ll also drive along Route 232, a road where a major part of the massacre took place.
Lunch will be provided midday, and we’ll return to your hotel by evening.
This tour offers a meaningful opportunity to witness, remember, and reflect.
