They recount what happened on October 7th. The testimonies are presented chronologically, starting with the first sirens at 6:30 a.m.
The survivors describe how they fled from the gunfire and hid in safe rooms. They describe the moments when they realized that terrorists had entered their homes. Later, they describe the arrival of the soldiers and the moments of evacuation.
In many of the testimonies, the recurring theme is the fear and helplessness the survivors felt while waiting in the safe rooms for the security forces. Some of the testimonies are difficult to hear.
The 'Testimony 710' initiative was established immediately after the attack by volunteers from the fields of documentary filmmaking, historical research, and mental health. Its purpose is to film and preserve the survivors' testimonies so future generations can learn about the events from those who experienced them.
The video was released following a national moment of silence in memory of the victims and the fallen.
