Israel Honors October 7 Victims on Third Anniversary
Emily Damari, freed from Hamas captivity in early 2025, released a video ahead of October 7's third anniversary rejecting claims that the attack was anything other than a deliberate act of terrorism.
- 471 days: the length of Damari's captivity in Gaza after her abduction.
- 1,200 people were killed in the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.
- Damari lost two fingers; she had additional surgery after her release.
- She wore tape reading 'Choocha' — her dog's name — in the video; Hamas killed the dog during her abduction.
Why it matters: Damari's video directly challenges public narratives she says misrepresent the attack. She stated: 'It was not an accident. It was a planned terrorist attack, in which innocent people were murdered, raped, injured, and kidnapped.'
- British Jewish community groups and journalists report a rise in antisemitic incidents since October 7, including physical assaults, threats, and vandalism.
- The United Nations documented graphic evidence of rape, gang rape, and sexualized torture of hostages taken on October 7.
