Photojournalist Ziv Koren described moments on October 7th where he feared for his life, recounting how he lay under a car while militants fired at him, all while documenting the events. Since that day, Koren has captured 750,000 photographs, ranging from the scenes at Sha'ar HaNegev Junction on the morning of the massacre to the difficult moment Jordan Bibas stood alone at his home's entrance in Nir Oz. In a WhatsApp interview with Moshe Nussbaum, Koren discussed his exhibition "Mapa Nakum" (From Here We Will Rise), which showcases his war photography. He admitted, "I am not diagnosed with post-trauma, but I have no shadow of a doubt" that he is affected. The exhibition, co-created with Noam Horovitz, is displayed on the roof of the Azrieli Center mall in Tel Aviv.
