One Day in October: Forty Heroes, Forty Stories

Editors: Yair Agmon, Oriya Mevorach

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist forces attacked and ravaged the Gaza border area, killing 1,200 and taking 250 hostage. Hamas murdered and brutalized young and old, Jew and non-Jew, civilian and soldier. And in response, from every strand of Israeli society, heroes stepped forward to save lives and defend their humanity.

One Day in October introduces us to 40 real-life Israeli heroes from that day, in their own words. All 40 stories take place within the same 24-hour period, in the same patch of beautiful, broken, blood-soaked land. These heroes are unforgettable, their stories inconceivable.
