RE'IM, ISRAEL - DECEMBER 17: Atara, from London, hugs a friend and reacts while visiting a memorial for the first time since the Oct 7th attack on December 17, 2023 in Re'im, Israel. The memorial displayed photos of people killed or kidnapped during the Hamas attack on the Super Nova festival on October 7th. Many roads around the Gaza Envelope have reopened, which has allowed for more visitors, survivors, and residents to come back to the area and witness the results of Oct. 7. During the November ceasefire, hundreds of locals and tourists volunteered on fields around the kibbutzes that were most affected by the Hamas attack, however, since the ceasefire ended most volunteers, including Atara, have found themselves volunteering around the country, but not in the south. It has been more than two months since the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas that prompted Israel's retaliatory air and ground campaign in the Gaza Strip. (Photo by Alexi J. Rosenfeld/Getty Images)
