Israeli singer Ilanit Levi shared an emotional moment with her Instagram followers, revealing she was deeply affected after watching videos from the October 7th Hamas attacks. In a story posted from her home, Levi described how she became engrossed in a half-hour sequence of clips from that day, expressing her disbelief at what the country endured. She concluded her post with a question many Israelis are still grappling with: "How did this happen to us?"

Levi's experience is shared by many Israelis who continue to be confronted by footage from the October 7th massacre, even three years later. The singer's candidness about difficult moments is not new; earlier this month, she spoke about a panic attack, and a month prior, she shared that she "couldn't stop crying." This latest emotional response, however, stems from a collective pain that many are still trying to process.
