On October 7, 2023—the final day of the holiday of Sukkot—the Gaza-based terror group Hamas launched an unprecedented assault on the people of Israel. Over a thousand people from all walks of life were killed, including left-wing kibbutzniks, Burning Man-esque partiers, radical right-wingers, Bedouins, Israeli Arabs, Thai and Nepalese guest workers, peace activists, and elderly Holocaust survivors.

In 10/7, journalist Lee Yaron profiles victims from a wide range of communities, honoring their memories and revealing the way these attacks ripped open Israeli society and put the entire Middle East on the precipice of disaster.
