Yair and Eitan Horn were kidnapped by the Hamas from their home at the Kibbutz Nir Oz on 07 October 2023. On 7 October 2023, the Palestinian group Hamas launched a coordinated attack from Gaza into Israel, with thousands of rockets fired and with militants? staging land incursions into kibbutz communities and cities. The participants of the Nova music festival were also among other targets in the area of southern Israel bordering Gaza.

According to Israeli official sources, 1,139 people were killed in the Hamas attack including 695 Israeli civilians and 71 foreigners as well as 373 members of the security forces. Hamas militants also took 251 hostages, 117 of which have been released alive with 37 dead. The rest remain in captivity.

After one year of war, the death toll reached 1,638 in Israel, among them 860 civilians, according to the National Insurance Office. EPA/ABIR SULTAN ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET
