The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is hosting an exhibit titled 'The Observers' that gives voice to female IDF surveillance soldiers who warned of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. The exhibit features ten testimonies displayed without archival footage, maps, or recreations, focusing solely on the faces of the women.
According to reports, the exhibit aims to highlight the warnings these soldiers issued before the attack, which were reportedly dismissed by higher authorities. The testimonies are presented in a minimalist format to emphasize the personal stories and the emotional impact of their experiences.
The exhibit has drawn significant attention, with visitors spending an average of an hour in the room, reflecting on the cumulative effect of the narratives. The museum has not provided specific dates for the exhibit's run, but it is currently open to the public as of May 2026.
