Several parents at the Bereaved Family Ceremony speak about their children killed on October 7, including surveillance soldier Hadar Miryam Cohen, whose father says he speaks as a representative of the 16 young female surveillance soldiers killed on that Saturday.

“We are their voices,” he says, “and I want everyone to listen to these daughters who are crying to us from under the earth. With what’s left of us, we will make sure that the responsibility is taken.”
