A surge in Israeli emigration follows the October 2023 Hamas attack, fueled by security concerns and a reevaluation of Israel’s founding promise.

Following the devastating Hamas attack on October 7th, 2024, sites in Southern Israel are becoming increasingly popular destinations for dark tourism. Visitors are drawn to these locations, seeking to witness the impact of the violence and honor the victims, raising questions about the ethical implications of such tourism.
Following the October 7 attack by Hamas, the Israeli defense establishment is facing potential fallout. The resignation of a top brass officer has set the stage for possible additional resignations, including the IDF’s Chief of Staff, Gen. Halevi, and the Director of Shin Bet. Opposition voices are demanding Prime Minister Netanyahu’s resignation as well.
Following the tragic attack on the Nova Supernova Sukkot Gathering in October 2023, the festival’s founders and creative director Reut Feingold have collaborated on a moving remembrance installation in New York City, titled ‘The Nova Music Festival Exhibition: October 7th 06:29AM.’ The exhibition, which premiered in Tel Aviv, showcases remains salvaged from the festival grounds, including scorched cars, bullet-riddled structures, and personal belongings. It also features video testimonies from survivors, volunteers, family members, and raw footage captured on the fateful night. Donations from the exhibition will support the Nova Healing Journey, which provides mental health treatment for victims and families affected by the massacre.
