Satellite photos show how Israeli forces have erased Gaza towns

Three years after the Oct 7 attack on southern Israel, the trauma and grief continue to shape Israeli attitudes towards Gaza, according to a report by The Vibes. Memorials, destroyed vehicles, and portraits of those killed on Oct 7 remain as reminders of the attack, while communities along the border are rebuilding while keeping the memories of the bloodshed alive.

The depth of the divide is underscored by the reaction to a recent Israeli documentary, which captured the devastation of Gaza as "destroyed beautifully," highlighting the intense personal trauma experienced by many Israelis. Despite the passage of time, the impact of the attack remains intensely personal for many, with some unable to engage in everyday activities without being reminded of the horror of the attack.
