I&#8217;ve been running between the affected settlements, inside Gaza, in hospitals, at funerals, with the families of the kidnapped \u2013 everywhere. Armed with a camera, I obsessively document what is happening. No one sent me on this mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I do this out of a sense of duty and understanding, realizing that these are some of the hardest moments the country has faced since its establishment. This is historical documentation \u2013 a visual document that will remain for future generations, just like we look at photos from the Yom Kippur War and Independence Day. Perhaps even like the Holocaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I have seen many dead in my life. In Bucha, Ukraine, I photographed mass graves, but it&#8217;s not comparable to what happened here \u2013 neither in numbers nor in brutality. I arrived in Haiti after the earthquake there. The scenes were horrific. A natural disaster, as terrible as it may be, is not a man-made act. And here, it&#8217;s hard to call those who committed these cruel acts human.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Ziv Koren<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forbes.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/ZivKoren-768x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211175\" style=\"width:314px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forbes.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/arrowforbes.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183837\" style=\"width:60px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-75e307302ecf4c3c22ceaaeefee24933\">Kfar Aza, October 11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An officer from the counter-terror unit consoles his friend, broken by the sight of holiday challahs left on the table in one of the attacked kibbutz houses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forbes.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/10112023_Koren_Attack_on_Israel_Kfar_Aza-31-ZKR55129-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211151\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forbes.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/arrowforbes.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183837\" style=\"width:60px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0582d03461a368b2d138f72df0fb7fa3\">Nir Oz, October 15<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A bloody handprint on the exit wall of a bomb shelter in one of the kibbutz homes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forbes.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/10152023_Koren_Attack_on_Israel_Nir_Oz-22-ZKR59320-1024x567.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211161\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/forbes.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/arrowforbes.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-183837\" style=\"width:60px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-865c9dbc575b477ececbb483d1cbe163\">Gan Yavne, October 17<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The funeral of the Kutz family.
