Throughout Israel, October 7 is a day we will forever dread.

Today, we will grieve. We will manage our shock, one year on, at the massacre that was and the horrific year that ensued.

We will commemorate the fallen, the murdered, and desperately hope for a miracle to return the hostages remaining in Hamas hell, alive and dead.

There have been uplifting moments that a friend of mine who is a military expert refers to as “imagination-bending achievements.”
