Anniversary of the Oct. 7 Massacre

Anniversary of the Oct. 7

Moments ago, Yemen launched ballistic missiles at Israel. Sirens were reportedly heard central Israel including Tel Aviv and explosions were reported over Jerusalem. While details are still emerging, it remains unclear if anyone was hit at this time. What we do know is that Zaka Tel-Aviv volunteers are already prepared and ready to respond to any potential strike locations. We will keep you updated as we learn more.

Today, we also pause to reflect on the tragic events of October 7th, 2023. Exactly one year ago, Hamas launched a horrific attack, killing 1,400 innocent people and capturing dozens of hostages—many of whom are still held in Gaza. Zaka Tel-Aviv has been involved from the very beginning, and throughout the war. Our volunteers worked tirelessly to recover victims and provide dignified burials amidst the devastation.

In honor of those we lost and the incredible work of our team, we invite you to watch a special tribute video. Please take a moment to reflect with us on this solemn anniversary and support our future efforts.

Please stay tuned for further updates as we learn more about the ongoing situation.
