In the Middle East, hundreds of people gathered on the night of Sunday October 6 to Monday October 7, in Tel Aviv, to light candles. A year ago, to the day, took place the terrible Hamas attacksthe worst massacre in history on Israeli soil where more than 1,200 people were killed by the Islamist movement which had attacked several events at the same time.
During the Nova festival, there was 370 dead. One of the survivors of this attack, whose brother is still Hamas hostagerecalls the events of October 7, 2023, frantically puffing on his cigarette. “The shooting intensified in our direction, people ran towards us and shouted at us to run away. Some were bleeding,” he said.
The man regularly writes to his little brother to check that he is well, but at 9:30 a.m., he no longer responds. “There, I began to understand that something serious had happened, but I couldn’t turn around because of the terrorists,” the survivor recalls.
When his brother was kidnapped, his brother’s life seemed to stop, and the more time passes, the more difficult it is: “Before October 7, life was beautiful. Since that day, nothing has happened to me. interested. I just want my brother back. I have become much more impatient, aggressive. I can’t work, I find it ridiculous“, he laments.
After a year spent hoping for his brother’s release, it is increasingly difficult to remain optimistic.
