The stories of these five individuals were shared as part of the city's collective memory and commitment to immortalizing their lives, actions, and the values they left behind. Following the ceremony, a lecture was given by Colonel (res.) Avichai Adraee, IDF Spokesperson in Arabic, discussing the October 7th events and the years that have passed since.
