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

Traveler reviews
The worst tour company
After 94 countries including Syria & Lebanon. This os the worst tour company I have ever dealt with. Their communication is terrible. They changed the pick up location without informing me or Viator. So I missed this tour. It was past the 24 cancelation period. So I did not get a refund. There are other tour companies in israel one can use. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS TOUR COMPANY.
Necessary to bear witness
Heart wrenching but necessary to bear witness. Our tour guide was very informative and we learned a lot of smaller details that are not commonly known.
Excellent
It was a unique experience. I really wanted to commemorate the victims of crime and express my faith in the survival of the Nation. This journey was difficult and I am very grateful to the guide. He showed great culture and competence. Thank you
If you come to Israel, you should take this trip
The trip had an exceptional guide, Udi. His sense of humour and personal perspective of the events of October 7th made this trip not only memorable and really informative, but foremost - I emotionally “survived“. I was afraid of strong and difficult emotions but the way he explained what happened here prevented me somehow from being too emotional. It doesn’t mean you don’t go deep down into your feelings, I just mean I could cope with it. The places we saw, the stories we heard, the imagination of what the victims might have gone through will stay forever with me. Take this tour if you come to Israel.
Uri provided an excellent...
Uri provided an excellent tour and struck the right tone for such a difficult tour. He shared stories and videos from October 7th, as well as weaving in his own personal experience from that day, for a very meaningful tour. Useful information: The tour stopped for an optional lunch at Kibbutz Alumim, available for 79 shekels, cash or card.
