Dozens of Beitar Jerusalem football club fans visited over 60 graves of fellow supporters murdered in the October 7 Hamas attack and soldiers killed in combat, ahead of the national day of remembrance for the October 7 events. The fans visited the graves of their friends from the stands who were killed and massacred on October 7 and during battles in the Gaza envelope.
Members of the Jerusalem fan association, "Hod VeHadar," initiated the moving tribute. They spread out across cemeteries nationwide, lighting candles, praying, and leaving letters for the families of the deceased. The letters, on behalf of the Beitar Jerusalem family, stated, "It is important for us to remember: you are part of the Beitar family. You were part of it, and you are part of it today. We are here for you. Whenever you wish to come to Teddy Stadium, the door is open for you. You will be received there with a warm embrace, great love, and the respect you deserve."
The fan association members wrote that the Beitar family has lost many of its members since October 7, individuals who sat with them in the stands, wore the team's colors, shared their joys and sorrows. "It was important for us to reach them, one by one, even today. To stand by the grave, light a candle, pray for their memory, and assure the families that their memory remains with us. Beitar is a family, and a family does not forget its children," they stated.
