Rejseplan
Vi vil stoppe ved Kibbutz Yad Mordechai på den nordlige grænse med Gaza og lære om områdets historie, geografi og strategiske betydning.
Vi vil stoppe udenfor Moshav Nativ Ha’asara, det nærmeste civile samfund til Gaza og høre om terroristernes angreb på paraglider, som bragte krigen til denne fredelige landsby.
Vi besøger Nahal Oz look out bygget til minde om de 16 unge observatører myrdet den 7. oktober og lære om de 7 unge kvinder kidnappet og hvad der skete med dem.
Vi stopper uden for Kibbutz Be'eri, en af de samfund, der blev hårdest ramt under Hamas' dødbringende angreb, med 102 mennesker myrdet og 32 kidnappet til Gaza - 10 af dem stadig der. Fællesskabets tab var blandt de værste den dag. Du vil høre flere historier om de rædsler, som familierne led. Vi hører også om en helt, der gav sit liv for at redde sit samfund og lære om, hvad fremtiden holder for denne kibbutz. Vi går også ind i bombeflyet ved busstoppestedet, hvor Yuval Rafael, Israels deltagere i Eurovision 2015, blev begravet under døde kroppe i 8 timer.
Vej 232 bombeskyttelse: Giv din respekt på dette symbolske sted, hvorfra en række unge mennesker blev kidnappet, herunder Hersh Goldberg. Vej 232 er for nylig blevet helt genopbygget efter ødelæggende skader fra raketter, brande og RPG'er. Vi lærer også historien om Aner Shapira, der giver sit liv for at redde andre fanget i bombeholderen.
Vi går ind i kibbutz til frokost i den fælles spisestue. Vi besøger stedet, hvor Bipin Joshi den heroiske nepalesiske arbejder blev taget som gidsler og hans venner fra Nepal og Thailand blev dræbt. Vi lærer, hvad der skete på Kibbutz Alumim den dag.
Shuva Achim Rest Station: en inspirerende frivillig hub for soldater, etableret af Trabelsi brødrene. Mød aktive soldater og udtryk din støtte. (Hvis du gerne vil gøre en økonomisk donation til resten stop, eller bringe gaver til soldaterne, dette er det perfekte sted at gøre det)
Et dybt rørende stop på stedet for Nova Music Festival nær Kibbutz Re’im, hvor 364 unge blev dræbt og 43 kidnappet. Siden fungerer nu som et spontant mindesmærke, hvor venner og familie har skabt personlige minder og hyldest til deres kære.
'Car Cemetery' nær Moshav Tkuma: den forfølgende samling af 1.560 brændte og ødelagte køretøjer genoprettet fra angrebene - nu tjener som et midlertidigt mindesmærke. Historierne om mange af bilens ejere er tilgængelige for læsning ved hjælp af QR-koder opført i nærheden. Disse forbrændte køretøjer er ikke bare skrald - de bærer historierne & hjertebrud af de mennesker, der engang kørte dem.
Besøg stedet for den ødelagte Sderot politistation, hvor en hård kamp fandt sted den 7. oktober. Lær historien om Amer Odeh Abu Sabila, en heroisk beduiner byggearbejder, der reddede to unge piger efter deres forældre blev myrdet. Amer blev skudt mens han redde dem, men hans mod sikrede pigernes overlevelse.

This was one of the most powerful, moving and meaningful tours I have ever experienced. Simon Oster Tour Guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging and incredibly well-informed. What made the tour so special was Simon’s ability to connect us with the stories of the terrible atrocities of the 7th October behind the places we visited. Every stop was thoughtfully explained, and the day was handled with great sensitivity and respect. We never felt rushed, and all questions were welcomed and answered thoroughly. I would highly recommend this tour with Simon Oster Tour Guide to anyone living in or visiting Israel. Thank you Simon for an unforgettable day and an outstanding experience.
What a wonderful albeit emotional day we had touring the Gaza envelope Simon is sooooo knowledgeable, a truly convivial, relaxed and warm gentleman to boot. At every turn on our many stops he had such fascinating stories that only enhanced our experience. Not to mention he picked us up in a super comfy roomy car and is an excellent driver, and was so lovely, courteous and completely watching for our pace as we made our stops along an emotionally impactful journey through the Gaza envelope many kibbutz and many profound memorials. His knowledge and insight into all was stellar. If you’re looking through reviews just stop right here !! Simon is super special and we look forward to touring with him again. We have been to Israel many times but we will so enjoy exploring other adventures again together with him! Thank you dear Simon! Hilary and Andres K
Our experience with Simon was outstanding. He is knowledgeable, experienced and professional. In addition he is engaging and had us involved during the entire tour. He was warm, sensitive and a pleasure to tour with. This is one tour we we will never forget!
Thank You Simon for a unforgettable day This Gaza Envelope tour was one of the most meaningful and impactful experiences I’ve ever had. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sensitive, and respectful, providing deep historical context while centering the human stories behind the places we visited.
Our tour with Simon was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and kind. I learned a lot and was able to see so much in one day.
Simon was a most informative tour guide. He had lots to share regarding the history of the event as well as biblical and modern history of Israel. This is an emotional tour and he set the proper tone at all venues. Would truly recommend Simon for this and probably any of his other tours. He was also very accommodating with our schedule. 5 Stars!!!
Simon gave us an excellent tour of the Otef. He was extremely accommodating to our various needs. His comprehensive knowledge of history, combined with his sensitivity, resulted in a very meaningful day which helped shape our understanding of the atrocities that occurred on October 7th.
Amazing tour! Simons personal experience made it that much more poignant. Such a caring and knowledgeable tour guide. Simon shows such consideration for everyone on the tour, and he can relate to all ages and backgrounds.! Would like to do many more tours with him!
I would like to highly recommend Simon, the tour operator who guided my family through the Otef Gaza region. We began the day with some understandable apprehension, but Simon immediately set a thoughtful and reassuring tone by starting our visit at Yad Mordechai, where he gave an excellent overview of the area’s history, beginning with the earliest modern Jewish communities. Throughout the day, Simon took us to a number of important sites close to the Gaza border, including a viewpoint over the region, the grounds where a major music event had taken place, several protected structures used by local residents, & neighbourhoods that were significantly affected. We finished our tour at the location of the Sderot police station, an important landmark in recent events. Simon was exceptionally knowledgeable, & he presented everything with clarity, balance, & great sensitivity. Despite the challenging nature of the subject matter, he made the experience meaningful, accessible, & deeply informative. His professionalism, empathy, & understanding of the region were evident throughout the day. Simon is a licensed Israeli tour guide, & based on this experience, I would not hesitate to hire him again to explore other parts of Israel. I wholeheartedly recommend him.
Wonderful moving experience to see how inhuman Hamas were. Just animals. Learned and saw so much of the horror they inflicted on totally innocent people. Wonderful guide, explains everything fully. Well worth the money.
