The massacre that took place on October 7, 2023, was documented on the internet in real time, as were the war that followed and the related events of both. Over the past two years, extensive material has been gathered from the web, both within Israel and abroad. This vast digital archive includes approximately 44 terabytes (TB), harvested from about 1,500 internet addresses. It documents the news published on Israeli websites and social networks; the public atmosphere in Israel, ranging from volunteer efforts to protests and demonstrations, including the struggle to return the hostages; websites commemorating those who were killed on October 7 or during the war; stories of/by affected communities in southern and northern Israel; the responses of Jewish communities around the world to October 7, the war, and the global wave of antisemitism; and more. The archive also includes Arabic materials from the Palestinian Authority territories, Gaza, and the broader Middle East.
The archive has been assembled into three main categories: websites in Israel, the Jewish world, and the Arab world.
