Haim Vingerten, ZAKA's deputy director of operations, recounted his experiences after the October 7, 2023 massacre in a statement Tuesday. "We entered the communities. We walked between the houses, the streets, the cars. Everywhere more blood, more bodies, more families gone in an instant," Vingerten said. He noted that he has been with ZAKA since its early days and thought he had seen everything, but the scale of Oct. 7 exceeded anything he had witnessed. "There were moments when I just stood and couldn't grasp what my eyes were seeing. The heart cannot contain such a thing," he added. The three-year mark has brought renewed reflection on the attacks.
