Of all the monuments to the horrors of the October 7 massacres, the remains of the military outpost closest to the Gaza Strip and the nearby kibbutz at Nahal Oz must be the most melancholy. They received the first onslaught of the Hamas terrorists at around 4.30am.
In less than an hour 66 soldiers were killed, six were captured and six are still missing — while at the kibbutz nearby 15 were killed and eight taken into Gaza as hostage.
