Under the cover of the rockets, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, during which Nukhba operatives carried out a massacre at the festival.

On Tu BiShvat 5784, the families of the victims planted trees in memory of their loved ones, and the Jewish National Fund (JNF) erected posts displaying photos of the murdered and kidnapped, along with Israeli flags.

At the base of these posts, artists from across the country placed red anemone sculptures, symbolizing the flowers that bloom in the nearby Re'im forest during winter and serving as a metaphor for the young lives lost.

School groups, security personnel, delegations from abroad, and others regularly visit the memorial.
