Les guetteuses du 7 octobre

2025

There were 23 young women, aged 18 to 20, doing their mandatory military service in a very special unit responsible for video surveillance of the Gaza Strip. In Israel, these young women are nicknamed the eyes of the state. Before October 7, they saw everything, understood everything. They sounded the alarm, but no one listened. They were both the Cassandras of the Hamas assault and its first victims. Today, the surviving watchwomen from the Gaza border and the parents of those who were killed have given themselves a mission. Together, they are demanding justice and truth and shedding light on the flaws in a security system that Israeli society believed to be guaranteed.
