Ido Yakir, a member of the emergency squad of Kibbutz Magen, recited the Yizkor memorial prayer at the national memorial ceremony of the 'Komu' movement and October 7 families. "We will remember those murdered in their homes, in the fields and on the roads, in the western Negev territories that were breached and conquered by a cruel and merciless enemy. The mother holding with the last of her strength onto the iron door handle to protect her family from the assailant on the other side. The father throwing his children from the window of their burning home and leaping after them, absorbing the lead bullets in his body. The friends dancing at dawn. The fallen whose bodies were taken captive and those who were abducted alive and died in captivity. We will remember the brave-hearted who went out to defend. May the fallen of Black Saturday be inscribed in the heart of Israel for generations to come."
