Ms Power speaks with the heartbroken, yet resilient, Israelis' fighting for their loved ones to be released from captivity.
Nova Music festival survivor, Shalev Biton, recalls running for his life while hearing Hamas terrorists yell, “where are the Jews?” as they tried to hunt him down with guns.
“I thought in mind, it is so early to finish my life, because I have a lot of dreams,” Mr Biton said.
30-year-old Gal Dalal also survived the October 7 massacre.
He now spends every day fighting for his 22-year-old brother, Guy, to be released from Hamas’ captivity.
“He’s honestly my best friend. We see the same movies together, we play the same games together, we go to concerts together, and I miss him so much. I miss him more than anything. I would do anything to get him back,” Mr Dalal told Sky News Australia.
Dr Uriel Trahtemberg, who works in Israel’s north, said a solution to the conflict is simple.
“There is a very easy way to end what's happening in Gaza, which is return the hostages and renounce terrorism,” Dr Trahtemberg said.
Every Israeli interviewed for this special report, expressed their fear about the rise in anti-Semitism displayed around the world, following the October 7 attack by Hamas.
“Despite all the hate in the world, the people of Israel are united,” Gabriella Power said.
Gabriella Power travelled to Israel as a guest of the Australia Israel & Jewish Affairs Council.
