Life in Israel one year after the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks is far from a return to normal, as one expert explained to Fox News Digital what it’s like dealing with the psychological fallout of the massacre while living near an active war zone – and even the lasting consequences for American Jews 12 months later.
Dr. David Fox, director of crisis and trauma services for Chai Lifeline International, a Jewish nonprofit and network supporting families living with illness or loss, said he’s traveled to Israel multiple times over the last year to meet with hostages’ families and consult with survivors’ families on the ground.
“I think Oct. 7 will remain seared into the consciousness of Jews and of Israelis,” Fox told Fox News Digital. “It’s sometimes just referred to as ‘the seventh’ or as ‘October.’ October is not an Israeli or Hebrew word, but that’s what it’s been called. So I don’t think it will ever be forgotten as an infamous day of what has become an ongoing battle for survival.”
