STORYLINE:
A year after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel, the anniversary of the assault has hit survivors particularly hard.

With the Israel-Hamas war raging on, survivors reflect on the day a year ago that changed their lives forever.

They hid in bedrooms, bomb shelters, safe rooms and beneath trees as Hamas militants poured across the border.

In the aftermath, they’ve mourned loved ones, struggled with anxiety, suffered survivor’s guilt and questioned whether they will ever return home to places that still bear the scars of their ordeal.

Eilat Shalev remembers that the pomelos — large citrus fruit — were about to be harvested a few days after Oct. 7 in southern Israel.

She knows that because farmers had already set out large collection bins, which she hid behind as Hamas militants overran the road leading to the Nova music festival, where she had been dancing with her husband, Shai.

The two got separated as militants began shooting at their car.
