Itinerary
Visit the Sderot Police Station to honor the extraordinary bravery of first responders who risked their lives to protect their community
On October 7th, the Moshav Tkuma area, located near the Gaza border, was significantly impacted by the attacks. One of the most haunting reminders of the chaos is the "car graveyard," where vehicles were abandoned or destroyed during the assault. This stark symbol of destruction reflects the intensity of the violence that affected the region on that fateful day. Survivors and residents of Tkuma have shared their stories of survival and the immense challenges they faced during the attack.
Discover the Four Memorial on Kobi Hill, Sderot - a tribute to the four fallen heroes of Operation Protective Edge. Enjoy stunning views and learn about their bravery.
The Nova Festival Victims Memorial is a monument commemorating the victims of the Nova Festival massacre. It is located in the Re'im parking lot near Kibbutz Re'im, where the festival took place on October 6–7, 2023
The Nova Festival Victims Memorial is a monument commemorating the victims of the Nova music festival massacre during October 7 attacks.

Traveler reviews
Benny is the best….
After having our original booking changed, we had s great day with Benny as our guide. Benny was very informative and patient, answering all questions. Highly recommend him as a guide.
Amazing experience
Udi the guide made the emotional tour deeply meaningful. He is so knowledgeable and balanced the heaviness of the day with levity. He was friendly and very open to questions and discussions.
An all encompassing tour of a post 7 October society in the healing Southern Israel
Informative, peaceful and amazing. Cool minibus, experienced and knowledgeable tour guide - Benny. An efficient and effective tour where a lot is covered in the south of Israel re: the horrific October 7th massacre: Gaza lookouts, various kibbutzim, Nova Festival and vehicle graveyard. Would highly recommend - a mixture of exploring life in kibbutzim in South of Israel with the striking context and influence of a post 7 October society.
The Gaza Envelope
My husband and I went on this tour with Benny! This was an extremely important and eye opening trip. The tour company created a WhatsApp group with all the participants so it'd be easier for all of us to communicate and ask any questions we may have a day before the tour! Benny was incredible. He was very friendly, knowledgable and had a quick response time. He always followed up after every stop to see how we were doing which we really appreciated. He would show us videos relating to each stop so we can easily grasp what happened and the progression of October 7th. I highly recommend Benny and this tour! Thank you Benny!!
An important experience while in Israel
