In today’s fast-paced world, every device is becoming a connected device—from cars and bikes to drones, robots, and AR equipment. Connectivity has long been the cornerstone of digital transformation, reshaping the way we live and think.

On the morning of October 7th 2023 a young girl from one of the kibbutzim neighboring with Gaza called the police, to tell them there is a terrorist in her house. In the recorded call she can be heard yelling at the terrorist to leave her alone, that she's only a kid and that she has school tomorrow. The police dispatcher begged for her life, but the Hamas terrorist shot her to death. The remains of her burnt body were later found.   This little girl was one of 38 children under 18 who were murdered, some with their entire family, during Hamas's massacre that day. The youngest was a 9 months old baby girl. Hundreds of children were injured or kidnapped or had to watch their parents being killed in front of their eyes. Two infants, Kfir - 9 months old at the time and Ariel Bibas - 4 years old, are still held in Gaza. They were kidnapped from their beds by Hamas with their parents Shiri and Yarden.   Today we painfully mark a year to that day that hasn't yet ended. Over 1,200 people were killed, over 250 were kidnapped. In the past year dozens of the hostages were murdered by Hamas or killed by the impossible circumstances and conditions in captivity. October 7th will end only when the remaining 101 of our brothers and sisters that are still held by Hamas unite with their families. #bringthemhomenow  🎗
